Intel Corp (INTC)

I Always figured TI
As the most likely, and after that either a samsung or STmicro. I think culture issues would doom the samsung or STmicro merger but TI might just work. I still doubt that will happen. I think the world is moving away from vertical integrated companies so I really doubt it would be an IBM or a SUN. I predict IBM will be out of the semi business within ten years.

Do you think it might be possible for one of the foundry's to take a look at AMD? After all, they have 1 Fab up and running, and a second one in progress, and it would give the Tiwanese foundrys a new presence in Europe, plus it would give them an almost finished 90nm fab. Seems like they might want to consider it,..... no?
