Shares in Advanced Micro Devices are on the rise following speculation that the semiconductor company could be headed for a buyout. Share value shot up roughly 8 percent yesterday afternoon, topping out at $4.46 before dropping slightly to close the day. Qualcomm and Samsung have both been mentioned as potential suitors but even still, some analysts feel that an acquisition of AMD is unlikely.

Really AMD, taking out a loan to pay off other debt? We all know where thats gonna go.

I really don't care who buys them or even if they get acquired. Just please AMD start making kickass CPU's again.

Not too surprised. Since quite a few execs have left recently I figured some bad news (or at least speculation thereof) was going to happen.

We know that, but we can dream, IBM sure would be a match to Intel, they have the funds and the R&D to make the CPU market quite interesting.

As long as INTEL doesn't buy them I think the industry will be ok. They already have the majority of the market share.....but total market, I can only fathom the price gouging on INTEL's part
