With their purchase of Sun, haven’t they already got the integration between software and hardware? Why would they go buying more companies?

I don’t think Oracle is large enough to acquire Intel, and they most certainly aren’t large enough to even bother attempting that with IBM. So perhaps Nvidia or AMD. However this still doesn’t make sense with Oracle primarily in database software.

The initial article was predicting about Oracle buying Nvidia’s or IBM’s chip divisions, not the whole companies, of course.
