Paul,

Re: AMD buyout.

In the hypothetical case if Intel bought out AMD for say $30/share.

This would translate to less than a $5/share for Intel.

They would gain from the flash.
They would dump the Vantis to somebody for free.
And offer the 2 MegaFabs fabs to somebody like TSMC to do general purpose foundry.

The K7 would fit nicely in their product plans.

Intels stock would immediately rocket by more than $5/share just do to lower compeitiion and higher ASPs/MArgins for the rest of the product lines.

Of course Intel would want to do such a deal, if it was legal.

Unfortunately it would never be allowed by the regulatory authorities.

A mo better plan would be for them to pay some-one to buy AMD and shut down the x86 operation on the sly.

regards,

Kash
