GPUs might be more complex and have x times more processing power but if it can't run operating systems and programs written for x86 does it really have any chance of being accepted when the latter is so firmly entrenched and has some seriously big money behind the effort to keep it as such and even spread it out further?

Woot for open source developers! XD

Intel has a lot of money, if nothing else they would probably try to delay it by making them prove everything before they could release it.

Thats like saying This statement is false. If what you say is true I have an 87% chance of it being false, but then it wouldn't be very true would it. LoL

Thats funny I kinda asked that question when that news post came up.
I believe x64 was developed around 2000 by AMD and Intel/AMD traded techs. So technically would that mean that Nvidia would have to license x64 from AMD ??

x86 license is non-transferable....with the exception of VIA's buyout of Cyrix and Centaur. Intel didn't crib back then, but it certainly could, because that's NVIDIA. x64 is x86-64, it's a 64 bit extension of x86. You need to hold x86 license before using those 64bit registers.

and then, nothing happens... Nvidia just focus on graphic market like always.

I would still like to see an x86 GPU. It would be so much faster than a traditional CPU. Folding @ Home proves this.

Technically Nvidia could buy the company/majority shares and keep it a separate company and allow a collaboration between the two. I thought someone else did something like that (not on an x86 license though).
About the x64. I understand you have to have an x86 license first but I was saying that AMD came up with x64 and through tech trading it was cross licensed to Intel. So Nvidia would have to work with AMD on the x64 part (I think).
