Funny thing is, they actually do. Never wondered why Qualcomms Graphics Chips are called Adreno? It's an Anagram of Radeon, bought from AMD in 2009, and the Chips are based on then-current VLIW4 (Evergreen 2) Radeon Graphics Cards architecture.

AMD could in theory go back into mobile hardware, but they would need to divert much money and manpower from their other hardware products in order to do so. And since both are in pretty short supply at AMD, they backed out and never went back again.

I don't think you can claim that just yet or anymore since Qualcomm has been adding a ton of their own changes and their pretty secretive about their own GPU ISA ...
