Umm...you got it backwards. Intel should be "approaching" nVidia.
AMD bought ATI, and it only makes sense. GPUs are the last thing from the "normal" consumers mind. Games are the last thing from the normal consumers mind.
I actually hope nVidia is never bought by anyone. Call me a nVidia "fanboy" if you will (but give kudos to ATI for what they have done over all these years), but it's EVERYTHING about nVidia (eVGA helps, only owned eVGA cards) that always makes me come back, and have never looked twice at a Radeon card.
