I think your wrong, we will see.
No one really knows, as we all know Intel is not afraid of lawsuits and I dont think anyone with half a brain would pursue one. I do think whatever they do will probably involve AMD. Intel isnt interested in putting AMD out of business. nVidia is the threat to them in the future and now, AMD without Raja, Intel has a firmer grip on AMD.
Dont be surprised if Intel one day owns ATi.
