No way it'll happen. I would go behind my house and melt my x850xl and 2600+ mobile after smashing it with a meteor or something equally ridiculous if it ever did.

People shouldn't read the headline and get the mistaken impression that this is something that's likely or imminent to happen. I remember reading Huddy's clarification of his comments a few days ago, and I think the key comments are these (which are not quoted on other websites that have run this story):

That?s certainly not something that I would have headlined as ?AMD considers buying Ageia?. The thought has certainly passed through our minds - but then humans think about a lot of things, and if you look at what I said I also point out that the cost is crazy high, so actually I come very close to ruling it out?

As far as I can see there?s really no news here. Everyone in the industry understands that Ageia?s primary aim is to just to be bought, and we?re one of the companies that needs to work out whether we think it makes sense.

I'm sure that at some point in time, there was some person in some position of influence at Intel and Nvidia too, that had the idle thought cross their minds that "hey, what about buying Ageia?". Course, those people apparently had the good sense not to mouth off something so potentially headline grabbing and gossiping causing in the presence of the media :p...

I could see a connection (pun intended) - if they had the right patents.

But I'm assuming that Torrenza will survive - and that specific application-accelerating hardware will be viable.
