AMD won't buy ATI [Archive]

Last week the rumor that AMD would be buying ATI has been shattered by both camps. Fuad Abazovic from the Inquirer has confirmed at Computex 2006 that if anyone is to buy out ATI it would be anyone but AMD. He is thinking a more bluish company might be in the running. ATI has not stated they were not for sale yet.

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.

Plus, the under-the-table warnings from nVidia about future chipset support possibly drying up didn't really help the deal's chances much either. ;)

Perhaps AMD should buy nVidia

Ryan Shrout @ PC Per has suggested as such, but there aren't any rumors of this even being considered right now. I'm not sure they have the capital.

I would have thought it would be more likely nVidia buying AMD than the other way around...
