It MUST be reality, and not an elaborate and slightly premature April Fool's joke.

Wikipedia said so...

theoraticly speaking, and it won't happen in a fast rate I think, but what if Creative would go bankrupt? What would this mean for Auzentech, they were lincensed to use the X-Fi chipset, but if Creative stops existing, does this also mean X-Fi stops existing?

Some of Creative's personnel would be headhunted by the other APU manufacturers, and a company would probably buy the rights to the X-Fi and all associated technologies.

The X-Fi would probably still be supported, in some way.

they wouldn't stop existing. And some other company would buy creative out to get to its patents/trademarks/copyrights.

Auzentech could buy it from them? I dunno, just speculating.

But is Auzentech actually the 2nd biggest next to creative?
