In a recent interview with expreview, Nvidia CEO Jen-Hsun Huang said the green graphics giant won't try to make its own x86 CPU, and that it won't acquire VIA either.

"Intel and AMD have already done great enough. I don’t think we can do even better, but we are capable of making the best GPUs," said Huang, reiterating his previously reported comments on x86 production, and going one step further, saying VIA is not an option. At least not now.

When asked about Intel's next gen CPUs with integrated graphics, Huang shrugs of any concerns, saying that if such graphics were any good, they wouldn't be free. Huang still sees a lot of room for Nvidia's ION chipset, both on Atom and Core 2 Duo based systems.

Interestingly, when asked about the transition to 40nm, Huang said Nvidia was already in talks with Globalfoundries, and that they are evaulating the possibilities of working with the AMD spin-off.
