Rumours hit the net last week that Samsung may be interested in a takeover of AMD. AMD have been struggling for some time to compete with Intel and Nvidia in the CPU and GPU markets respectively and they are also dealing with a fair bit of debt - a problem Samsung could deal with quickly. With Samsung's influence, and world-class chip manufacturing facilities they could surely help AMD drive forward new hardware designs. Samsung would also get access to one of two companies licensed to produce x86 processors.
