Joe re : "I think the main attraction would be integration of mainstream graphics on the CPU." I am way over my head on this subject, so bear with me, but isn't the design and production of graphics processors highly specialized - an area where AMD brings little to the table? This being the case, how does it further AMD's business to attempt to supervise the integration of ATI logic into AMD chips when various other solutions (NVDIA eg) are available 'off chip'. Is an alternate possibility to form alliances with ATI, NVDIA, etc to tightly couple graphics processing capability to AMD processing complexes via cHT links? These alternatives are available to AMD without spending $ 4 bil + and incurring the myriad distractions that would attend the speculated aquisition.
