AMD can't be bought. The x86/x86_64 cross licensing agreement forbids the sale of AMD (or Intel) to a third party.
If this happened, AMD wouldn't be able to make x86 and Intel wouldn't be able to make x86_64 anymore. [1]
Also Intel is very very keen to have AMD continue existing and manufacturing x86 CPUs because if they don't, the antitrust boffins will come after Intel.
