 |  Analyst Expects Nvidia to Acquire AMD Despite of Chances to Lose x86 License Doug Friedman, an analyst with American Technology Research, said that graphics chip maker Nvidia Corp. could well acquire x86 microprocessor maker Advanced Micro Devices in order to “re-architect it”. The acquisition is considered to be useful due to the fact that roadmaps of AMD and Intel Corp. threat Nvidia. The only problem for the graphics giant is that AMD’s x86 license is a non-transferable one. http://www.xbitlabs.com/news/cpu/dis...6_License.html

| Eventhough this would put a hand above AMD's head, loosing the x86 licence is probably not a good thing for us with itchy buying fingers. ATI in Nvidia hands sounds like a bad deal for us as well. |
