According to information from the Wall Street Journal, AMD is in advanced talks to take over Xilinx - the manufacturer and market leader of so-called field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs). This deal is said to be worth over $ 30 billion and could be completed as early as next week.

I can't remember hearing about AMD aquiring any other companies since ATi.

They did buy SeaMicro back in 2012.

 

FPGAs, just another thing for AMD's semi custom division. Makes sense really.

I wonder if they are going to use this purchase or any existing IP for a particular product range.

Big plans for AMD. 
It seems they are trying to increase their IP portfolio to bring in more income. 
Soon we will be paying old intel prices on their parts

Xilink portfolio is quite big in AV industry, it will be interesting how AMD and NVIDIA spread their business wings.
