Comedy option: Intel makes the offer and Jen-Hsun demands to be CEO of the resulting company again.

(for those not in the know: AMD made an offer to buy out NVIDIA a decade ago, and it fell through for that reason, NVIDIA's CEO Jen-Hsun Huang demanded to be CEO of the resulting company. The funny thing is that he would have been a much better CEO than Dirk Meyer or Hector Ruiz, but Ruiz was not about to give up his CEO seat. AMD ended up buying ATI instead.)

Double comedy option: Intel agrees to it.

Nah, you're missing the obvious here. Now that AMD has THREADRIPPA and EPYC, the way has been cleared for other 90s-gamer-chic names.

The merger of Intel and NVIDIA would obviously result in a company literally named "Chipzilla".

They partner with rapper DMX for a new promotion for their next series of Extreme Edition chips, Jen-Hsun walks onstage to the tune of "-X gonna give it to ya". As a snub to the Vega t-shirts, everyone in the audience receives a free Coffee Lake-X leather jacket.
