AMD is in a life or death power struggle with chipzilla, and chipzilla has them by the throat. Soon to come on line is their state-of-the art (and costly) new fab, and last I knew, AMD was bleeding with no spare change lying around. What they don't need right now is a tough-to-integrate acquisition to take their eye off the ball. Cyrix is uselessly dead.
