  1. Advanced Micro May Buy ATI for About $5.5 Billion, Person Says

    July 21 (Bloomberg) -- Advanced Micro Devices Inc., the world's second-biggest maker of microprocessors, plans to buy ATI Technologies Inc. for about $5.5 billion, according to a person involved in the negotiations.

    A deal for Markham, Ontario-based ATI may be struck in the next few days, according to two people briefed on the discussions, who declined to be identified because the talks are confidential.

    ATI is battling with Nvidia Corp. to be the No. 2 maker of computer-graphics chips behind Intel Corp. Buying ATI may help Sunnyvale, California-based Advanced Micro in its efforts to keep taking market share from Intel, the world's largest semiconductor maker. The purchase would be the biggest in Advanced Micro's 37- year history and signal its commitment to challenging Intel.

    ``It may be a step AMD has to take,'' said Cody Acree, an analyst at Stifel Nicolaus & Co. in Baltimore. He rates Advanced Micro shares ``hold'' and said he doesn't own them. ``They may be saying, `If I'm going to be an Intel equivalent, I need to be able to offer the market the things Intel can.'''

    Dave Kroll, a spokesman for Advanced Micro, said the company doesn't comment on rumor or speculation. ``It's still a rumor to me and no one here can speculate on rumors,'' ATI spokesman Dave Erskine said.

    Buying ATI would Advanced Micro to package graphics chips with its latest processors and get them to customers faster, Acree said.

    Shares of Advanced Micro fell $3.39 cents to $18.26 in New York Stock Exchange composite trading. ATI rose 83 cents to $16.56 in Nasdaq Stock Market composite trading.
