I understand just fine. I just think kscherer's scenario is quite plausible.
(I think you mean the FTC, not the SEC?)

We'll see. Microsoft+Qualcomm is clearly giving it a shot. Could be the right moment for Nvidia to join in; they have more interesting cores than Qualcomm does (but it's not clear if they're interested in shipping them at volume).
I'm aware of the chipset history, and how horrible NVIDIA chipsets were.

Well, playing favors like that would be something the FTC OIG might be interested in.
