Analyst Expects NVIDIA to Acquire AMD Despite Chances of Losing x86 License.

[KALISPIMENTA]

NOT POSSIBLE.

Why? AMD owns ATi, nVidia acquiring ATi would violate anti-trust laws.

The end.

Unless AMD would sell ATI to Intel

if anything, id like to see AMD merge with IBM. they already share the same processing fabs and some product info; y not seal the deal

Well maybe Nvidia is thinking that the dedicated GPU market will die in the future together with PC gaming (come on let's face it it's not looking good) and only the Professional market will be left for them which is too small for them to ensure future growth. In this sense an Entry to the CPU market could be their ticket to future survival. Just some thoughts.

But even the CPU market is going to shrink in future years, people are already taking the performance of modern processors for granted and will just choose the cheapest

Cheapest or not they will still buy one while many will not need an add on VGA card. The gaming market is also moving to consoles leaving PC game sales behind.
