IBM acquisition or investment in AMD..

[Fancy]

I wonder if now that AMD is short of capital that IBM is considering a
equity stake in AMD or a outright acquisition. This would make sense
since AMD already has a lot of marketshare.

[FrankyQ.]

AMD is exactly the sort of business IBM is selling, not buying. They sold
their disk drive division and their PC division because those were
volatile low margin commodity businesses. The kind of businesses that they
are buying are software and services.
