it makes a lot of sense: AMD can supply server to MSFT to boost its cloud efforts in addition to game console; supply SOC for tablet for co-design. AMD can boost muscle and R&D effort. AMD's Fury-X2 is great idea and its HBM2 will change the video world in the time of 4K PC and TV. AMD is the only player take advantage of both the strength of ARM64 and x86_64, AMD instead of INtel will lead the world to better server and GPU. so far AMD has done everything right in the last 2 years.

I also believe Oracle, AMAZON, Google would love to buy AMD as well: 1. AMD has learned the advantage of both ARM64 and x86, thus it is the most likely AMD can make XEN the best CPU for server and cloud.

So much in AMD under the radar, but if MS is to take control of "IOT", they must take control of the chips. With AMD and Sphere3D, someone would finally gain control and manage IOT, simply and efficiently.

Microsoft is likely going to spend $2BILLION probably more for console silicon over the life of XBOX.

Sony is likely going to spend a little more and if the rumours are right, Nintendo will likely spend maybe $1BILLION for it's NX silicon.

Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo pay for the R&D to design their custom silicon.
