If ARM nudges out AMD I hope someone at IBM realizes they should buy them up for the graphics component. IBM makes the cpus for consoles and absorbing AMD would let them provide the graphics directly. The next gen consoles were all going to use AMD anyways. This would have the added benefit of saving their desktop cards and preventing a nvidia monopoly. I could live with AMD dying on the cpu end but the cards perform just fine.
