Will Lucid be Bought

[J4M3S0N79]

If the technology floats, (and it sounds promising) I think they will be ripe for acquisition provided they have protected their patents. Question, is who has more to gain from a purchase. I think NVDA has the cash, for AMD, it's a last grasp at recapturing the hearts and minds of enthusiasts and for Intel, it's a way to make larrabee as scalable as they have been hoping.


What do you think?

Intel already has a large amount of venture capital invested [linksauce]. Probably wouldn't take much to make them a wholly owned entity, they might just be waiting to see if they actually produce anything before they go ahead with it.

I don't want nVidia anywhere near this. Would prefer AMD to have it, it fits with their design philosophy.

But I think Intel are the most likely.

nvidia al the way

Intel would probably be most likely, since this tech can supposedly support both SLI and CF off of one chip. However, I seriously doubt any cash is going to be thrown around until these guys can actually prove they've got something good on their hands.
