Nvidia takes $5 billion stake in Intel under September agreement
Oh good, even when you are buying their competition, you are still buying NVIDIA.
U.S. antitrust agencies had cleared Nvidia’s investment in Intel, according to a notice posted by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission earlier in December.
Are they even giving reasons anymore? Or is the “antitrust agency” just a guy napping in a corner they periodically wake up just to give a thumbs up?
Nah. Guy in the corner napping died 40 years ago, but they taped a sheet of paper on him saying “No Issues. Approved”
It’s called antitrust now cause it’s the opposite of trust
So the net of obligation, ownership and mutually assured destruction continues tighten?
At some point this is going to explode … right?
i was reading earlier that this is looking more and more like ENRON style accounting and acquisition. That ended badly but it didn’t happen on a scale that NVIDIA is currently treading
Oh god yes…
The talking heads are going to point out how obvious it should have been at this time too.
Why would it? Computers going away soon?
Computers don’t need NVIDIA. NVIDIA needs computers.
At first glance I had read the headline like this:
Nvidia takes $ … Intel
:-)
I support everyone too

How are they going to blame the poor for this implosion?
