Philip - Re: "are there any sound reasons for a 3rd party to acquire
the whole shebang? "

Buying AMD means taking on Intel.

IBM tried - and lost (486/Blue Lightning/PowerPC)

TI tried - and lost.

Compaq - they have the Alpha Albatross - and they already own a chunk of AMD from the NexGEN buyout.

NSM bought Cyrix - they are DROWNING in Red Ink and Continual Product Delays.

Maybe SUN wants to take a direct "slap shot" at Intel.
