NVIDIA seems to be in an acquisition mood. Soon after buying in-game physics leader Ageia, NVIDIA has now set its eye on Taiwanese processor, chipset maker VIA Technologies. Though no deal has been finalized yet, both the companies discussed three possible scenarios, including a strategic alliance, acquisition of only VIA's processor division, or the acquisition of the entire company.

As VIA continues to see losses, it might start negotiation with NVIDIA with lower price, said Digitimes. On its part, VIA said that its main business is still focused on x86 CPUs and chipsets and therefore will not give up these segments.
