It's a rumor. I heard that Intel would buy ATI (since they do a lot of business... and motherboards).
Actually, I heard it was nVidia, since nVidia fixes a lot of issues Intel has with its platform and GPUs in software (going back to the whole "driver" thread ;-).
AMD will never piss off their partners, or buy their partners. That would be a mistake bigger than OSX's Dashboard (they killed Konfabulator). Ask yourself why AMD don't make MOBOs or chipsets for them?
And I believe it would _not_ be in AMD's favor to buy ATI either. Unless AMD really believes that it can make HTX a GPU expansion standard and it will become widespread. In that case, the only way it will happen is if AMD buys a GPU vendor like ATI. -- Bryan J.
