I wonder...

Would they allow Intel to license this? Put a GTX 780 on an i7 chip?

If Nvidia can make money, why not? That's business.
Didn't Intel block out Nvidia from chipsets and IGP a while back with an Intel architecture change?

Possibly. There's a reason why we don't have Nvidia Ion chipsets anymore.
