Speculation That Intel May Buy NVIDIA

I'd take this as a grain of salt. Speculation of this isn't something new since AMD's purchase of ATI.

Thats would be cool. Atleast NVidia is better than Intel's graphics.

or they could buy S3 off of VIA. the technology there is actually pretty good.

Hopefully Larrabee will be based on Nvidia's architectures not Intel's sad GMA line. I might as well solder a saltine to my logic board...:rolleyes:

Be an interesting turn of events if this came true.

They'd have great potential working together without having to worry about any licensing crap.

Larrabee had nothing to do with the architecture used by the GMA GPUs. It had more in common with the Pentium series of processors from the late 90's. 'Twas essentially design to be a GPGPU that utilized dozens of miniaturized Pentium Pro type CPUS.

I was saddened to hear Intel was shifting gears on Larrabee and suspending the commercial parts... Buying nVidia might be able to give them what they need to further their GPU prospects. Maybe they can combine the technologies of Larrabee and Fermi... Could be quite exciting. But a purchase of nVidia might delay the release of new GPUs from nVidia. AMD badly needs some competition for the 58xx series to encourage them to restore supply and price.

I wondering if the resolution of the licensing might get the Nvidia Integrated GPUs stuffed in their place.

Cry uncle and do something that'll benefit both ... however unlikely that would be.

So was I but on the other hand I'd like to see what they will come up with now.

I'd take this as [sic] a grain of salt.

:D funniest thing I've read all day.
