Why would AMD license their design to one of their largest competitors who would like nothing more than for them to die in a fire when they are perfectly capable of doing anything that competitor can do and likely do it better?
The only company that would have anything to gain by licensing their x86 core to nvidia would be Via and from all reports Nvidia's ceo burned that bridge pretty well.
