Is Apple gearing up to buy nVidia’s chipset division?

There have been more than a few rumors in the press lately about nVidia getting out of the chipset business. Most of these revolve around the poor reception of the 790i by OEMs (many of whom are pulling boards based on this chipset). Some claim that nVidia is not killing it off but rolling it into the recently started SOC (system on chip) division. But while all of these are going on we hear rumblings that Apple is looking to drop a green chipset in their future systems.
What if between these two rumors there is a third possibility?
I have been looking over the rumors and the very small number of real facts that are out there and I have arrived at a rather wild conclusion:
I think that Apple is getting ready to buy a slimmed down version of the nVidia chipset division.
