Somewhat like AMD's acquisition of ATI, I think.
I don't think that IBM would stifle AMD's innovation. To the contrary, IBM has proven adept at reinventing itself and its industries. Note its recent specializations -- Linux and open source advancement, consulting, patent acquisition and leverage, and a shared monopoly on gaming console processors -- and compare them to a mere decade ago (Aptiva, ThinkPad, PowerPC, printers, Lotus...).
