I dont get where you think it makes sense, Intels foundries cant do the nm that nvidia would need, so owning those wouldnt be of use. NVIDIA already has its own CPU/DPU/GPU architectures and all the x86 stuff isnt a help to them when they use RISC or Arm. So would you please inform me what NVIDIA would see in acquiring Intel?
You think selling Intel to anyone would make them happy? And I was thinking of the future. And there isnt going to be a all in one chip that does it all, their could be FPGAs that have instanced layouts, but that would still require huge money to get the fastest ones (and I dont know if Intel has really been keeping that pushed as hard as it could). And I already stated they are not just in the GPU market, they have DPUs and CPUs and they are not anything that Intel is working on, so that wouldnt be a great thing to buy into.
And no Intel was the product of letting bean counters run the show and they milked it. And I wouldnt say that NVIDIA was lucky at all, they pushed and invested to get where they are at, I dont even buy their cards but the gaming sector isnt even a blip on their money radar now. They have all the networking, CPU NPU and DPU, its almost a full rack NVIDIA solution at this point. Also if I were to just take the idea of the mil into it, they are working on models, which is the AI boom that you want to look past. I am not sure what you think the mil buys that is intel based, but outside of networking and servers (which they said they were going to goto a 50/50 solution on those) there really isnt a market thing the gov buys thats Intel, TI maybe, but not Intel.
