NVIDIA could acquire part of VIA

An interesting post appeared recently in the publication Digitimes. According to our Taiwanese counterparts, the company VIA in the near future is going to sell about 300 million shares worth from 27 to 35 cents through the private placement. In turn, California NVIDIA is going to buy a portion of these shares, the truth does not specify what.

VIA representatives argue that the range of potential buyers will be determined no earlier than June 19, when the next shareholders' meeting. NVIDIA far refused to comment on this topic. In any case, the probability of such a transaction exists, and it may well be an impact on semiconductor industry.

In addition, VIA announced plans to invest about $ 27 million in its division for the production of optical drives - VIA Optical Solution.
