Honestly, not good. I love Intel and Nvidia as much as the next guy (I have a frickin' GTX 680) but we truly do need competition. AMD is slacking, and this would put Green & Blue team even more ahead. We need competition or prices will soar.

 

[bllue]

Intel prices are already too high as it is, this can't be good.

I see this as a middle finger to Apple and their supply chain problems. "Haha we bought the chip makers first!"

Oh no, the Chinese will just pirate the processor design and then use it against the free world.

 

[allenpan]

or use it to "Free" the world from the stupid patent lawsuit!

LOL, CPU or GPU breaks down and you look at it. It says, "Made in China".

They need to purchase them and move them to the USA

So? A lot of electronic goods are made in China today. It is more about the quality control that a company exercises rather than where the part itself is built.

Before I clicked on this article and saw 'reported' in the title, I chuckled to myself and thought, I bet this article will start off with the words 'According to Digitimes'.

Sure enough I was not disappointed.

CPUs are mostly made in Malaysia
GPUs are mostly made in Taiwan
Motherboards are mostly made in China

All the above stated countries have a large chinese population just saying

Yeah, I don't think Nividia or Intel would want sub-par silicons on the market under their brand for obvious reasons.

So long as it's not Intel or Apple I'm fine with whomever acquires them.

Interesting... but I really wouldn't tell the Malaysians and Taiwanese that, unless you meant a large proportion of inhabitants of said nations were Chinese, of course.

Taiwan is ( unofficially ) the Republic of China, Whilst Malaysia is home to the largest chinese community outside of China, covering 30-40% of the countries population

Taiwan is such a touchy subject. Still, point very much taken.
