Rumor: NVIDIA interested in acquiring AMD

Posted on Tuesday, June 02 2009 @ 17:36 CEST by Thomas De Maesschalck

Hexus heard a rumor at Computex from a "highly placed source" that NVIDIA is once again exploring the acquisition of AMD.

Prior to AMD's acquisition of ATi Technologies, NVIDIA came very, very close to acquiring AMD itself.

Indeed, it could be said that AMD's acquisition of ATi was somewhat of a reaction to the deal which fell through between AMD and NVIDIA.

And now we're hearing that NVIDIA is once again exploring the acquisition of the other green fabless semiconductor outfit.
