The latest to emerge is on a Chinese site, which claims that it's a foregone conclusion, and there's another spin on another site, here.
The first site cites a feller "close to the negotiations".
Yesterday ATI (tick: ATYT)
closed at $15.45, up 73 cents on the day, a five per cent changed. ATI rival Nvidia (tick: NVDA) was down by nearly a
dollar to stand at $20.63.
AMD fell 70 cents to shut at $23.90, while INTC was down 61 cents to $18.75. Whether it's all true or just a chimera, expect some movements in a few different stocks.
If AMD did buy ATI, it certainly would have a heck of a lot of digesting to do. Hector Ruiz has trodden a slow and careful path since he took over the reigns of power from Jerry Sanders III. Could his digestion cope with another 4,000 staff and a whole different set of games to play? ยต
