AMD won't buy ATI

WE CANNOT name names but a few important people from both camps have confirmed that AMD won't buy ATI.

Charlie is convinced that it will happen and you can read it here. Well, sorry to disappoint him but at this time there are no serious talks between the two.

Two companies are hardly compatible and a chap confirmed that if anyone is out to get ATI it is definitely not an AMD. You have to think more blue I think as Intel has the money for it. They are not in talks either but Intel could pull out the cash.

Intel rather likes to use ATI's patents as the companies like to cooperate together.

We need to get people to stop reading that site. They're just attention whores, only the more people that go to their site the more ad revenue they get. This is just further proof that they make crap up to get people to go to their site.

What we really need is a third video-card contender. I'm sick of both companies.

Like AMD (or Intel) would admit to such plans.

Inquirer? Takes pinch of salt.

I wonder why people still listen to or even post about that site. When the X1800XT launched, everyone should have become aware of the credibility that this site does not have. Where is the 32 pipe R520 that they claimed to have seen?

As I stated in the original thread, I knew it was a steaming pile of BS. That's why some people refer to that site as "the stINQ".

Take which? The will buy or won't buy rumour?

They may be wagging the dog so to speak the stock rose probably over 10% on the news and is down close to 5% now that Inquirer has said its false.

Kyle seems to think that AMD is actually going to merge with ATI based on what he's heard from Intel...

Eugh.

The Inq. is a collection of pot stirring p***pots that post articles that have little to no basis and get things right on the odd occasion that a blue baboon runs amoke in downtown New York while screaming 'lol'.

So, in my totally unbiased opinion (Oh, you know it ) their articles should be taken with a monsterous bag of salt.

*cough*

AMD-ATI merger considered 'likely' by Intel?

 

[LOUISSSSS]

Over dinner tonight in downtown Taipei it was explained to me that Intel was making the rounds with their customers explaining exactly how the AMD/ATI merger/acquisition was going to impact their business. Closure of the deal is expected to pass in 2 weeks.
