They don't seem to have a lot of overlap - AMD is mainly in the CPU business and Xilinx seems to be mainly focused on the FPGA space (JP Morgan used their hardware for Monte Carlo simulations[0]). This seems like a good fit.

- stripline 6y agoThey compete head to head in machine learning applications. Xilinx's latest Versal device added AI engines to accelerate ML further. In a situation where AMD owns Xilinx, I would think they execs would decide not to add those types of features to FPGAs to not compete against their own product. Edit: Actually I'm thinking of Nvidia, with their ML supported by TensorFlow. AMD is lacking here.
