If you think The DOJ is going to approve a takeover of AMD by Intel or Nvidia either directly or indirectly, then you do not know how the antitrust laws work. AMD has great value and poor luck and management, they are most likely going to be bought by a private equity firm, with no connections to Intel or Nvidia. AMD's creditors will make sure of this. The AMD stockholders will get bought out or face loseing most of the stocks remaining value! AMD's products have a good future and the right private equity firm is waiting in the wings. This has happened with the auto industry and it will happen with AMD. There is a need by private industry and the government to maintain competition in the CPU and high technology market, and AMD will have to be reworked to keep competition maintained!
