What would happen if Microsoft bought AMD? | |
|

SAY, JUST SAY Microsoft decided to buy AMD to give it a jumpstart into the microprocessor business. What would be some of the implications? Design by Design. Microsoft’s designing of CPUs for IBM to manufacture is a very interesting move. It may be that they decided some time ago to get into this business, but just took a wait and see if this could be developed into a core competency. | ||

Never happen. Too big of a commitment. It won't generate revenue fast enough for the Microsoft Mindset.
At Microsoft, if it isn't profitable quickly, they will drop it like a hot potatoe, leaving adopters in the lurch (See UltimateTV and SideWinder). It takes patience to form a plan around a product. I'm not entirely sure Microsoft has that patience these days. TL |
