If anything, this is a loss for Intel. SeaMicro was the company to push Atom servers the most, and may have been even the only one. If they switch to AMD, that means no other other is interested in making Atom-based servers right now, which clears the path for ARM with their Cortex A15 chips later on.

In fact, given AMD's move to synthesized design for Bobcat I expect that they'll just take the GPU out of a Brazos chip, put in the logic from SeaMicro's special connector chips, and boom you've got a pretty compelling product.
