Very interesting. I particularly liked this statement:
"Intel has introduced drastic price-cuts for its Celeron, Pentium-4, Pentium-D and Conroe processors, which could make the price-war "quite ugly," Seems that we could be the beneficiaries of this ugly little war!!

Can't wait for the Core2Duo, myself. Hopefully there will be finally be some competition for AMD's high end dual core chips and prices will begin to drop.

That has to be the best example of BAD reporting I have ever seen. Forbes seem to have taken speculative statements of an analyst and turned it into "Merger looks likely", how the hell did they make that jump??. I could say that Microsoft could buy Apple and apparently Forbes would interpret that as fact!!! terrible. Once a respected news agency!!!!!....

But the opening sentence says: "Advanced Micro Devices may be looking to buy graphics company ATI Technologies, a move that would benefit the overall graphics industry, according to RBC Capital Markets."

I see, but those are not Walias words, they are a combination of Walias & Forbes words intended to mislead.
I'll break it down... Forbes: Advanced Micro Devices may be looking to buy graphics company ATI Technologies, Walia: a move that would benefit the overall graphics industry, Forbes: according to RBC Capital Markets. They're implying that Walia said Advanced Micro Devices may be looking to buy graphics company ATI Technologies which he did not. He merely speculated that they could buy ATI. Anyone can speculate, doesn't make it "Likely" to happen. |

I think you have to take a look at the words "may be" for what they are worth and not nit pick the article so much... they "may be" doing a lot of things... time will tell, no sense getting wound up about it.

It really doesn't matter to me what AMD may be about to do, its purely speculative and wont affect me anyway. But inaccurate and misleading reporting do bother me, especially when people quote the inaccurate report as accurate. "May be" and "seems likely" shouldn't be used in the same report and a writer for Forbes should know better, especially when some less than bright investors could base a monetary decision on the false report. It's irresponsible at best.
