I think, the only one that could do it is IBM. Coz.... It has the x86 license itself... VIA is no use, despite the concern behind them is very mighty.

There for the biggest hurdle would go away. But IBM is into medical and software stuff lately, albeit they kept their powerPC division, despite selling everything hardware related. I wonder why. I am actually wondering why IBM is not present in electric car and cybernetic research too.

But just like the idea... I would be in peace to chose from intel or IBM based CPU's again... Ehh nostalgic memories...

IBM would never touch it.

IBM's main focus is massive back-end hardware and software. The consumer division (Desktops and Laptops)... is of no real concern to IBM.

IBM loves their AS400/RS6000 and much more that no one has ever heard of.

Copying AMD's board of directors strategy might lead to the same level of success

How about HP, Dell, Apple, Lenevo? all major computer makers.

Maybe not... but you brought up a good question in my mind though... what about old big blue? I mean of course, IBM. I think they recently got out of consumer hardware but they have the resources to make a competitive Opteron again to complement their POWER line of servers...

EDIT: Somehow I missed the part where this was already discussed, I am on top of it today lol...

I don't think AMD will be acquired by anyone until either just before Zen debuts (2017 most likely) or just after. Their stocks will be highly volatile based on what investors think about AMD's profit potential post Zen.

Atomic77 · Oct 13, 2015

Not that it matters but DELL is reportedly buying EMC a data storage company. I just heard that on the news.

AMD is going up now, with that VR thing going on with Dell and other tech they introduced like GPUs. I don't think they will go down. I'm not sure they will be as good as they were in the past, but I don't think they will go down, just yet. But really they have to give everything now - and a bit of luck won't be bad too.

The stock seems to have settled back after the Dell announcement. Whether it goes back up short term will depend on what AMD say in two days time when the Q3 financials are announced. Long term, they are going to need more than a PC deal with Dell.

Kanan · Oct 13, 2015

Well let's hope they deliver then. And no more mistakes, please.

FordGT90Concept · Oct 13, 2015

I think that mostly depends on Global Foundries. If GloFo fails to deliver, AMD is screwed.

There's Samsung + TSMC to cover that if GloFo fails, I think. GloFo seems sure of their tech though.

FordGT90Concept · Oct 13, 2015

If the time table is delayed anymore, AMD will have to contend with Intel's 10nm process which means they're still not competitive; it would put AMD yet another step closer to the insolvency. AMD can't afford that. It's really GloFo or bust. They also can't afford to bring in another company like TSMC as a backup plan.

Yeah how in the world can he be both Donald Duck's uncle and Huey, Duey, and Louis's uncle when its already established that Donald is their uncle as well? Not that its related to the thread at all, just curious.

AMD isn't lower quality. They simply don't offer the same type of performance for your dollar.

No, they offer more performance for your dollar. Watch this:

The Core i5 4690K costs ~$250US, and the AMD FX-8320 costs ~$150US. For $100 less, the FX-8320 is giving you greater than 90% of the performance of the Intel chip in most games using a single graphics card. In DX12, this might even get worse for the Intel chip, since DX12 can feed a GPU using all the cores in your system, instead of only from one core (DX11 and older). If you're looking at even more multi-threaded software, the 8 integer cores of the FX-8320 kick the i5's 4 cores in the ass. And before you start haranguing me, I own both an FX-8350 system and an i5 4690K, and I've compared them side by side in many different applications.

Which, unfortunately, does not help with epeen. Like or not, epeen is what drives a lot of people.

AMD doesn't need to do anything, but push there name. They live inside the consoles right now. They need to put that fancy AMD logo either in the loading screen or on the box. People buy a name and if people see the name on a console they enjoy using they will use it in their pc regardless to performance. (ala P4 and the marketing scheme behind it). No one needs to buy AMD, AMD just needs to fire whomever runs their marketing department, push the name then improve the product to impress their newfound marketshare.

A powerful ARM setup would also do quite well. I know I am personally waiting to upgrade my tablet until nvidia or amd push something out that truly impresses me.
