Forget AMD, Intel should buy Nvidia

AMD stock is in the tank right now, so proposals have been circulating they might be an acquisition target. However this combination makes no sense to me, and it took me a while to figure out why. Intel should be the one buying, and they should be buying Nvidia.

Nvidia is basically a fab-less operation. They design the chips but outsource the manufacturing. Intel is king of the fabs. Nobody, with the possible exception of IBM, can touch their fab technology lead at this point in time.

When AMD bought ATI enthusiasts hoped that the ATI graphics genes would find their way into AMD integrated chipsets, but it hasn’t happened yet. In fact one could argue that merger marked the beginning of AMD’s latest slide. Maybe an Intel/Nvidia merger would bear sweeter fruit.
??? How long has it been since the merger 1 year? What the heck are they expecting supper production speed? I would say by now AMD/ATI is in the beginning of development of these combined chip designs. They will likely come out in 2009/2010. Maybe something this year, but not much.

Considering it took awhile for Nvidia to reap the benifits of it's acquisition of 3Dfx I doubt Intel would have a better time coping with an acquisition of Nvidia. I swear people think technology is developed in a couple of months.
