Recently, these rumours gained some traction, but NVIDIA's CEO just shot them down, and denied the company will enter the x86 processor market.

I think the trend is reversing for nvidia. Previously (currently) having an add-in card is a requirement for decent gaming performance, but going forward, once the shift to massive numbers of cores happens, having it all on the same chip will make more and more sense.

The add-in card I think will be just for the hard(er)core gamers.
