The $3.5 Trillion Blunder: Intel's "Almost" Acquisition of Nvidia in 2005 and the Alternate Universe of Tech Today
In 2005, Intel's then-CEO, Paul Otellini, envisioned a bold future. He suggested that Intel acquire Nvidia—a relatively small player in computer graphics at the time—for a jaw-dropping $20 billion, a considerable amount by the day's standards. Yet, Intel's board resisted, deeming it too costly and risky. Today, Nvidia is worth over $3.6 trillion, leaving Intel's former decision-makers grappling with one of the largest "what if" scenarios in tech history. But what if Intel had seized the opportunity? How would the tech landscape look now?
