Yes, turns out that ATI acquisition may save them. Nice hedge against struggles on the CPU side.

It turns out ATI's death sentence was rather pronounced when it was acquired by AMD. ATI is now far behind nVidia, and there is no catching back now that they depend on AMD's situation so much.

"Far behind"? Please elaborate. This may apply to the CPUs, which is unfortunate. But the GPUs are very competitive.

The entire history of the GPU business is one of companies leapfrogging each other. And unless you have more specifics of how 'they depend on AMD's situation so much', then it sounds like you're just making stuff up.
