Calls in to sell-side folks have at this point turned up a couple of rumors. One is a persistent rumor that Intel (INTC) will buy AMD, which, according to one source who could not be quoted by name, might suddenly be possible because the field of computing is now being defined more broadly than just the PC, which means “there aren’t as many anti-trust isues,” perhaps.
