NV plan to buy VIA.

Not sure if this forfeits their X86 licence ... mebbe they just plan to buy lots of each others shares then?

Intel has all of the rest thinking the same thing.

Comfort in numbers.

What if, rather than selling out VIA are just going to work 'really closely' with NV? Might we be hearing rumors of a CPU/GPU/PPU combo in the not too far distance future?

Though its always possible, I think its BS. Most likely the x86 license would be declared null and void if it ever happened as well.

Nvidia has been having issues with Intel and since AMD owns ATI it makes sense for Nvidia to partner with someone else. Although I think it would take me a lot to consider a VIA CPU I would love to see the day that there was a 3 way competition for high-end processors.

It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.

Thank you Sailer, I glad I'm not alone in thinking (or should that be 'hoping') this has a whiff of bovine excreta about it.

And yet at the same time I see what your saying ausch30, and is does make sense, although if it does go this way I may well be on my last SLI rig for a while :( as I can't see VIA being up to Intels CPU speeds just yet, but then again who really knows?
