Antitrust issues aside, NVidia could acquire Intel for about 1/30th of their stock. That would result in having an end-to-end platform play like AMD/ATI, about 5x the number of employees, a tremendous number of technologies (compilers, numerical libraries, etc.), massive diversification, and actually rather better fab access in both directions.
NVidia market cap: 2.64T
