What we do know is they are very interested in getting into the mobile market, it's just a question of how and when.

Regards Yes, you can say that. :)

But on the other hand, the ex-CEO of AMD is now CEO of AMD spin-off GlobalFoundries, which is the Foundry for AMD and which is also one of the leading ARM Processor foundries for some of the major ARM chip makers. So it can perhaps be said that AMD is investing heavily in ARM already, many billions of dollars already, they are just not yet doing it and branding it directly. Don't you agree?

But besides building an ARM processor, there is plenty of space of collaboration between AMD and ARM. I'm thinking at GPU's and GPGPU's, with both interested in expand OpenCL usage (that will minimize the raw power advantage of Intel processors, because actuals processors they are way faster than we need, with only exception at several processes like video transcoding, etc. ... and this tasks could be perfectly done by OpenCL in a GPU).
