@ 2010/03/03While roaming the CeBIT halls here in Hannover, Germany, we managed to encounter a juicy rumor which we were able to confirm couple of dozen hours later. To our sources, it looks like Apple's acquisition of AMD's brightest minds in a form of Raja Koduri and Bob Drebin [and a few others] is now resulting in Apple acquiring AMD hardware.
It all started with the purchase of ATi Radeon HD 4850, which now as we all know - is an integral part of their iMac lineup and continuing with a recent switch to ATI Radeon HD 5750. Originally, the deal between AMD and Apple was supposed to result in a steady supply of Radeon HD 4850 chips until the end of June, but this all changed for good when Apple requested HD 5750. As a result, there is currently a HD5750 shortage which will trickle down to market in a few weeks or less.
