It could be a stroke of genius: As you can see from the ATI web page, ATI and AMD are now called “The new AMD”.
If they pull this through as far as it can go, there will soon be Macs with both Intel and AMD inside. (In fact there already are, but you know what I mean - it may even be on the spec sheets or the package.)
In the end, did AMD buy ATI maybe just to get into Macs?


in a word
No

:) Yup, definitely.
