They wanted ATI for the APU technology. Unfortunately, they didn't pay enough attention to the CPU and GPU sides to keep competing with both Intel and nvidia.
Intel only competes with AMD. nvidia only competes with AMD. AMD is fighting a two front war except it's not the largest player, in fact it's the smallest I think.
