Or merging with VIA.
With the emergence of netbooks and increased importance of low-power CPUs, I do see VIA as a potential major player in this future CPU+platform market.
The Nano CPU is excellent for netbooks and, paired with Ion, it would blow away every Atom platform we've seen in Intel roadmaps so far.

And I still don't really get why nVidia and VIA broke up their "marriage" a while ago. Maybe VIA got confident of their S3 GPUs, or nVidia thought that pairing with Atom would get them a lot more OEM design wins.
