Rumor: Nvidia buys AMD in Q1 2008?

Another round of rumors has hit the media about Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) buying AMD (NYSE: AMD). Barron's quotes American Technology Research as saying a deal is possible. The reasoning seems simple enough. "The Intel/AMD road-map of integration of the CPU/GPU could pose a risk to Nvidia, and buying AMD propels Nvidia into a formidable competitor for Intel with the upside coming from Huang's ability to re-architect AMD's design."

    No, it didn't happen. There is a interesting April Fool's prank that talks about the deal though:

    Since it is just a rumor. Let's stick with that.

    While a merger may eventually happen, I think the timing is unlikely. The US is on the verge of a major recession (if not depression), and I think companies will be a little tight with their spending, including acquisition, even then the move may yield long-term gain.

      I notice the frequency of acquisitions is lower in this quarter compared to Q4 2007 too...

    The formula is easy:
    Intel > AMD + ATI
    ATI = NVIDIA (approx.)
    => Intel > AMD + NVIDIA

    No don't do it NVIDIA

      Interesting insight. But why shouldn't Nvidia does it? that is what saving the cash is for.

    It will end up being Nvidia + AMD + ATI. Nice combo.

    Nvidia has the cash, and AMD is in trouble, so the chance is there.
