I don't know about the US, but wouldn't this fall under anti-trust?
Also, don't they actually need to have AMD so that they can say "see we're not a monopoly, there's AMD"? I'm referencing bill gates in regards to their anti trust lawsuits where he mentioned Linux being an alternative and therefore them not being a monopoly.

>Intel buying AMD
God, what a shitshow that would be.
Jackson Gomez
They could probably acquire their GPU division, in fact they should do it, since AMD is doing nothing useful with it
Jose Diaz
You don't think that Intel will just destroy it?
Dylan Davis
>There are ARM/PPC/RISC-V powered computers, so we're not a monopoly! :^)
Justin Green
>He added the gender equality factor. Peddie doesn’t believe Intel has done enough to elevate women. The result is too-small a pool of female executives to choose from.
garbage-tier article.
Ethan Morris
Please let this happen. It's x86 vs ARM vs RISC-V vs MIPS vs POWER.
Nicholas Reed
No, non-opencl HSA APUs is AMD's endgame. No matter how trash their high end GPUs are, the mining craze made them realize how good they are at making FP32/FP64 accelerators. No way in hell AMD would give up their gold egg laying goose, they'd rather take intel down with them in anti-trust suites than give it up.
Kayden Morales
raja will be in charge again, so yes
Tyler Martin
>intel buys ati
>nvidia buys amd
dubs confirm
Luke Jones
This, but unironically
Easton White
And then they will make Lisa Su their new CEO

Robert Edwards
Those aren't targeting the desktop market, though.
The only two viable choices I am currently aware of for the desktop space is intel and amd.
Jose Rodriguez
Anti-trust is not a thing anymore. Just ask Google, Microsoft and Amazon.
another example include the media industry that is entirely owned by just six companies.
Would love nothing more then to see Google and Amazon spilt.
Dylan Brooks
My 5 confirms
Jose Price
Google actually planned ahead back in the day to not get broken up.
Why do you think they and their entire product range are owned by Alphabet?
Connor Adams
According to some rumors, Nvidia is about to change CEO soon too.
Ryder Myers
>intel buys AMD
>suddenly becomes just as jewish and shitty
time to wait for ARM to start making desktop CPUs
Logan James
How can you say that when amd just released a 700 bucks card lmao
AMD is just as jewish as intel, the difference is that their products were never as good
Dylan Anderson
retard, hbm2 is expensive as fuck, they cant release something cheaper
Jeremiah Smith
>$700 card that competes with another $700 card from another company
wow so jewish
meanwhile
>3600x will be 100% of the performance of the 9900k for half the price
John Lee
Exactly my point. Nothing is stopping companies from creating parent companies.
Anti-trust is dead so long as companies can pull this shit.
Carson Martin
$700 for a card that costs $750 to make. Wake up schlomo
Ethan Wright
cope
Jacob Price
I can't believe how fucking sexist this article title is. Woo? As if a successful tech executive is some dumb slut to be influenced by her base emotions? There would never be an article like this written about a male executive. It's a fucking disgrace.
Kevin Perez
right, because amd makes suck expensive cpus
Jordan White
x will be 100% of the performance of the 9900k for half the price
this delusion you amdrones are hilarious
Blake Bennett
>As if a successful tech executive is some dumb slut to be influenced by her base emotions?
>implying that isn't the case
Jeremiah Butler
>intelaviv drone didn't watch the AMD keynote
stay bluepilled (literally, because of intel's logo) my friend
Henry Hughes
There's a rough 1% chance of this happening, right?
Andrew Torres
STFU .... J-jim was right ... i-intel btfo
Bentley Bell
More like 0%, Intel would get fucked by anti-trust if they even consider it.
Samuel Rodriguez
Nah, hes got his artx team back together
Matthew Rivera
Back to you pieces of shit.
Adam Price
So? The 2080 die is 550mm2, its bigger than the 1080ti and on a more expensive process.
Jason Stewart
seething "company I dont like" drone spotted
cope harder please ;)
Wyatt Thomas
Whats this
Owen White
x will be 100% of the performance of the 9900k for half the price
3600 you mean. The QS from CES was a 65w part, not a 95w part. Also it had to have roughly 8700k equaling single core performance to beat the 9900k's multicore score (yes, factoring in AMD's superior SMT implementation).
Nolan Clark
I predict it will be 5-10% faster than the 9900K on final silicon with tweaking and fast memory for a lot less monies.
Xavier Gutierrez
Yeah almost as bad as when amd bought ATi and caused them to lose the gpu wars
Eli Roberts
Raja's treacherous plan for Intel to buy Radeon Technologies Group will NOT happen.
Jacob Watson
>first raja koduri
>then lisa su
Intel is turning into AMD.
Robert Nelson
>Intel in charge of GPU drivers
Anthony Smith
Let's say this fairytale garbage of a """""""""""""""""""""""""""""""rumour""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" is true.
Which person will be CEO of AMD then? My bet would be that David Wang also heads the CPU division after that. Or perhaps Mark Papermaster.
One thing's certain though, I will never buy anything that is related to Intel. If Intel somehow manage to buy RTG, i will buy Nvidia graphics cards instead even though I hate Nvidia a lot (but I hate Intel 50000 times more because of their bribery and other anti competitive shit that they have done towards AMD).
Jeremiah Miller
PLEASE let this be true, it would be the funniest timeline.
Julian Torres
>Which person will be CEO of AMD then?
Chase Sullivan
The only fun part of this dumbass analyst fantasy is the idea that Su could become CEO of Intel and immediately cuck Raja's GPU team into oblivion AGAIN.
Jordan Ward
how ? the european antitrust would never allow this
Leo Green
They have no say in this, all they can do is put an injunction on Advanced Intel Devices's EU offices if they tell the EU to get bent. Then the EU loses access to x86 and turns into a third world shithole because lol ARM at HPC
Jack Jenkins
I assume that american antitrust wouldn't either but the country is so full of monopolies and corporations buying off politicians it wouldn't be that surprising.
Eli Jackson
we'd be more than happy to take over an entire continent's worth of business contracts :^)
Dylan Howard
I wish you would just so I can be let down one more time
Nathaniel Garcia
as long as repubs have the majority no one has to worry about antitrust
Ethan Wilson
Then say goodbye to their console partnerships and laptops
Julian Peterson
why would AMD sell any part of their company now? it doesn't even make sense in 2015 because of the semi-custom designs that go into Xbox and PlayStation. it's guaranteed money for eternity. Intel and Nvidia have both screwed microsoft and sony, which is why both microshit and basedny go full AMD for their consoles now
Isaiah Smith
No Yahtzee for you bitch boy.
David Stewart
>never as good
They destroyed Intel and Nvidia on several occasions. What are you, twelve?
Lincoln Reed
oh hell no
that would make the entire desktop market being controlled by one family
Ian Phillips
yes the same investors that own intel owns amd too
i fail to see how this will maximize their profits at all
