I think they will be.
Nvidia is looking at a world of hurt, within two years losing the ability to effectively compete in the notebook, low end and mainstream computer markets and most of the high end market as AMD's fusion line move to incorporates bulldozer and northern islands with the already potent on chip graphics able to seamlessly incorporate motherboard and discrete graphics as needed providing a compelling reason to buy AMD high end discrete graphics boards on AMD systems and providing an integrated computing enviroment neither Nvidia or Intel alone can effectively compete with.
Meanwhile, with Intel no longer able to use their 800 lbs. of gorillaness to strongarm OEM's, AMD racking up scads of notebook design wins and with their Fusion line-up in the 2011 wings looking ready to take it to the next level with Intel across the computing devices boards with newer, better fusion designs coming yearly and Globalfoundries looking increasingly able to decimate Intel's time and technology lead on future process nodes, Intel is losing some vital competitive edges and looks to start losing substantial market share and profits to AMD in 2011 and beyond and will need to get serious about acquiring graphics capabilities to help stop the bleeding.
There is only one company that has such resources and it is currently massively faceplanting ... becoming a low hanging and very juicy fruit ripe for the plucking.
The only real obstacle to that plucking would be the U.S. government, but AMD's resurgence and rosy competitive future might just provide argumentative fodder sufficient to overcome the government objections.
Necro thread.
