Firstly, I regard the following article to be speculation which is why it is not in the news section.
Secondly, if Dell did buy AMD what do you think the odds would be of them choosing the "DAMD" monicer?
Here you go.
Have a read of this and see what you think.

I'd have to question what the share risk of Intel might be in Dell and whether this might be considered as being either a hostile move by Dell against AMD or a price-point-shakedown move against Intel.
I am pretty sure that I am not being too cynical. These thoughts are well within scope. But it does make me want to watch the share market for the next week to see what everyone else thinks.
