Good, I hope they will ultimately give Intel some real competition, *******s have been enjoying monopoly nonsense for way too long.

What this has to do with Exynos lineup is beyond me though! That should remain as it is!

If world sees low cost CPU or GPU that will be a great welcome,but reality shows Samsung has also overpriced its products also,particularly its Galaxy series of mobiles...

From the way Samsung has handled Tizen project, I would hate to see them acquire AMD.

I agree this deal would bring a fight but its more likely that low cost CPU's will be history. We like AMD because they are VFM but Samusng was never a low cost solution and always being overpriced

I believe this will be good for Samsung, AMD and us. Beware Intel.
There is good respect for Samsung, except for the Samesong galaxies.
AMD is not yet there, bogged down by the weight of Intel and it marketing budgets and shadow deals. This will be a shot in the arm for AMD and also for Samsung, who are trying to make a mark with their exynos. We know already are trying to out ARM chips, so :Fingerx:

Samsung has got the highest R&D expenditure every year. And this might be good news for the AMD since sammy can put in a lot of money for development.

When a company gets acquired, it undergoes changes akin to star-formation cosmic event. I've been there, business strategies and decisions change so drastically and fast that its almost beyond all speculative scope. We can never predict what Samsung would do with AMD. They can also chuck the whole CPU operations and administer a total overhaul.

Mate stop reading those low life junks' comments. As I asked somewhere else show me a recently launched mobile phone which's price isn't outrageous!

If Samsung were to take over AMD, we can only hope that they let the Desktop CPU division remain so that Intel does not get a monopoly in the market.

AMD should remain separate, we need a competition to intel and Nvidia. If samsung acquired AMD, given how much bad samsung is with pricing, it may lead to increased prices of AMD CPUs and GPUs. :(

Moto G 2nd Gen

Add Yureka, Oneplus One, Desire 820 to that list too.
