Nvidia To Produce CPU's?

[PV5150]

Apparently Nvidia has just poured US$3 million dollars into a tiny Canadian outfit called Acceleware Corp, But for what reason? Some say Ultrafast CPU's! Feel free to comment below...

woooooo, this is very exciting news.

GPUs are better CPUs than existing CPUs.

Anyway, 80nm CPUs? NFW.

Nvidia you are AWESOME!

Who knows what the futur holds for this company that pwns the GPU world!

why dont amd buy nvidia too after buying ati ?

Hmm, I don't think nVidia can compete with AMD and Intel

I think it's more of a low-end competition (VIA etc).

A cunning stunt would be to produce a CPU, that works ~as~good~ as regular CPUs - however, if u buy an nVidia gfxcard (which will work with any CPU), a whole bunch of collaborating instructions are able to be tapped that can do some meger jobs a hell of alot quicker.

Tip these jobs towards gaming.. hmmm

U make a regular cpu socket with nVidia stamped on it, but as opposed to just sitting in the cpu holder and away u go, there is a tab that sticks out from between the cpu and the cooler. This tab connects to the gfxcard via a ribbon.... like the sli edge.

The gfxcard acts normally when with Intel/AMD, but with the nVidia CPU - the others have no way of competing until they`ve reverse engineered and stole it. (as will happen)

When they`ve stolen it, u scrap it and use something else u`ve developed thats 50x faster.

hehe

Why didnt they just go to Intel? Lol, i want to see what happens with this.
