Conjecture; AMD knows K8L is at best only at par with Core2 duo and they need a new plan/Model/Gimmick; AMD realised they where at thier strongest in the spring it was then or never. ATI knew thier stock would go nowhere for at least 18 months because Nvidea will be cleaning thier clock, someone offered them a 40% premium most of the ATI shareholder were glad to take the money and run(I was one of them). The ATI board could justify the offer because of the premium and assurances of no initial job loses which made approval by Canadian authorities easy. ATI founders where under scrutiny for years for selling prior to poor earnings I am sure they where happy to take the money and run.
