ATI/AMD ain't stupid. If they still want market share, they'll allow ATI license to Intel.

It goes both ways...nForce chipsets NOT on AMD? Don't think so

It happened the other way... Intel canceled ATI's license...

And to correct Hax... It isn't a merger, AMD bought ATI, as posted here previously...

It makes sense for Intel to pull ATi's license. While I'm sure they will likely renew (Intel and AMD have cross sharing licenses to this day), it will be on different terms.

At least, that's been my experience.

I said it was a rumor. AMD themselves said it was false the day the rumor started.
