That indeed is a shocker guys. Amd might be on the verge of an acquisition. Though its only a speculation , can come true afterall.

Check THIS.

Qualcomm is probably the strongest contender to acquire AMD.

no. if AMD is taken up by someone, Samsung looks more likely due to its strong presence in PC market & it got its own fabs. & lastly, it got the cash (Qualcomm too got). it already manufactures hard drive & ram (Optical drives & monitors should be ignored) so just left is processor & graphics.

^^ Ya might be but in that link, qualcomm appeared to be most likely. However this might not happen at all. AMD may remain as an independent company. But again, who knows!

^^ I just wish it would.

even Intel tried to acquire Nvidia but it remained independent and most of the chances AMD will remain independent as well.

IF, it gets taken over the direction the company is driven is really important. It has a strong product line, depends how this is integrated to the parent company or tangentially let to grow with extreme strategy and guidance. Might just give Intel/Nvidia jeepers-creepers.

that should be a rumor. why would they sell AMD when it has finally turned to profits and has a very bright future with fusion. Also, they are finally making ways in portable devices business.

well, much like my Pentium 4?

You obviously don't have any idea about AMD Zacate and Ontario which have crushed Intel Atom in the low TDP market big-time.

Stop being a fanboy. AMD < $120. Intel > $120.

Looks like you are bumped by the rumor that salesmen have been throwing at n00bs saying that AMD processors heat up blah blah so that they can get more margin selling Intel proccys!

True. btw, what I want to see now is AMD acquiring a SoC maker like broadcom and get into the smarphone arena.

for now its better for AMD (& the PC world) that they keep their full focus on PC, graphics. at most they should eye the tablet market. being aggressive is good but with the two dozen ARM vendor & now Intel trying to get involved in the XLP (xtreme low power) chips, AMD may end up wasting its cash at best.

1st should be server market, then desktop (& laptop) & finally tablet (to prepare themselves for mobile wars).

BTW, Nvidia Tegra2 is a mobile SOC but what communication & wireless solution it uses? some native design or relies on others for it? so if AMD wants to enter the mobile market, is it necessary to acquire some company like Broadcom?
