Dell might want to buy AMD.

The departure of CEO Dirk Meyer and two high-profile executives has left us wondering about AMD's direction going forward. A report by Barrons.com provides a possible explanation: the chipmaker is gearing up for an acquisition.

This doesn't make much sense. As TR notes, the original Bloomberg report stated an acquisition was 'far-fetched' and somehow this became 'Dell Buying AMD!' via X-BitLabs... not to mention, Dell sold their manufacturing plants in 2008 to become a services company, and AMD are a design company.

I think the rumor of Dell buying AMD comes from both being in Texas.

I highly doubt Dell could even afford to puchase a company such as AMD. Dell has fallen from grace over the past 6 years, earnings are down, company has dropped from the top 4 in OEM sales. I just don't see this happening.
