  • Intel realized it back then too, but things didn’t pan out the way they wanted.

    nVidia and AMD were going to merge while ATi was circling the drain. Then Jensen and Hector Ruiz got into their shitfight about who was going to be CEO of the marged AMD/nVidia (it should have been Jensen, Hector Ruiz is an idiot) which eventually terminated the merger.

    AMD, desperately needing a GPU side for their ‘future is fusion’ plans, bought the ailing ATi at a massive premium.

    Intel was waiting for ATi to circle the drain a little more before swooping in and buying them cheap, AMD beat them to it.
