Intel to acquire NVIDIA in wild rumor with Jen-Hsun at helm

, Dec 13th 2012 Discuss [0]

It appears that one of the crazier of rumors we’ve heard for a while has fired up in the processor business with NVIDIA being acquired by Intel with a CEO switch-up placing none other than NVIDIA’s current head in charge of it all. The folks at Bright Side of news have a bit of an unsubstantiated set of claims here that we’re going to go ahead and report on just as much for its possible validity as for the entertainment value it provides you, the reader, as the possibility of these two titans teaming up is not exactly on the top of our “yes, that will happen” lists for 2013.

One of the biggest downsides to having an Intel processor inside of a mobile device compared to having an ARM processor is been power consumption. Intel processors traditionally use more power than competing products leading to shorter battery life for the devices using Intel processors. However, Intel is aiming to change that with the goal of reducing the power consumption on its Ivy Bridge processors. Read The Full Story

If Apple can ditch Intel, it will

, Nov 6th 2012 Discuss [0]

The Apple rumor-mill is cyclical, and one tale refuses to die: Apple ousting Intel from its MacBooks, and replacing x86 chips with ARM-based alternatives. The story surfaces periodically, just as it has done today, with titters of increasing “confidence” within Apple’s engineering teams that Intel will be eventually ditched in favor of the company’s own A-series SoCs as currently found within the iPad and iPhone.
