Yes in Desktop, and quite possibly gaming laptops.

How would it work if both co's are multi-national companies. They could literally merge in Kenya since there are no laws there, yet still sell in USA/Can/Aus/Russia where if they were there they could not.

This likely wouldn't happen unless Intel split off the x86 CPU division of AMD like how Disney is splitting off Fox Sports, Broadcasting and News from the rest of 21st Century Fox.

is it that time of the year again, Another Intel to buy AMD rumor?

yeah, no.

You are right it probably would not happen, but hey speculation can be fun!

1. Only one (unreliable?) source posted this news

2. It's fake, this rumour comes up every few years

This will never happen. Ever. To even consider it a rumor is disingenuous.

Guess I've had those other rumors fly under my radar? Didn't know it was common in the press to push this out.

Well I called it a rumor as opposed to a leak because it was pretty unrealistic in my opinion. However, the vast majority of tech news on this site only use one link

Imagine if only verizon and AT&T existed as telecoms and then verizon went to acquire AT&T.

 

That situation is actually more likely than this by a long shot.

Most likely false, but if it happened, I think the most likely scenario is Intel buying RTG (GPUs) But not the rest of AMD, because buying the CPU part would be blocked if the regulators have any sense in their minds.

They already bought RTG. They got raja and others like chris hook.

If Intel wanted to buy AMD, they would've done so 9 years ago.

That's a big if.

Or rather, more sense in their minds than money in their pockets.

With all the people leaving AMD's GPU division for Intel, practically feels like they are.

They probably didn't want to buy 9 years ago, hot off the FX launch.

And I mean hot.

Verizon and AT&T are both giants though. AMD isn't even 1/10th the size of Intel IIRC, and Intel has a lot to gain from buying them now that they're trying to get into the dGPU market. Plus I'm sure Intel's engineers would love to get their hands on that Zen 2 chiplet design.

you think AMD being smaller than intel will mean that the entire world is ok with only one cpu supplier existing? lmfao

Intel would only buy AMD's graphics division.  Their other businesses are of no value/consequence to Intel, because Intel already has complete market dominance in those areas.

I don't really feel like Intel has the confidence in their 10nm node not to want a piece of that sweet Zen 2 action.

Then they'd probably just cave and start buying from TSMC like AMD. I feel like they haven't because they do have confidence in their node.
