But they get that already by partnering with ATI, don't they?

Re: advantages to AMD for ATYT merger.

I'm sure it frustrated AMD engineers to distraction when all the chipset makers were so slow to adopt and enable PowerNow/CoolNQuiet

If AMD has some HT/Co-processor tricks up their sleeve, having a more forceful say in chipset design will speed adoption.

There is also new FAB space ATI's product can help fill.

Besides, AMD is a "big boy" now. They want to see if they can mismanage chipset production as badly as INTC did their's.

"ATI= low power chipsets for laptops, low power chipsets for AM2 market, make low power kick ass video cards...". Isn't this what ATI already does (or plans to do?)
