AMD acquires ATI
A trump move. While I haven’t personally purchased an ATI product in over a decade, I do use AMD processors in most of my built systems… for over a decade. ATI has made great strides in the past 5+ years and their cards are arguably neck and neck with NVIDIA’s products.
The merger excites the gamer in me, as the possibilities of CPU-GPU sharing, cooperation, and even on-chip die-level integration can come from this. AMD already produces it’s own chipsets and motherboards, so we could easily see an entire integrated motherboard fully manufactured by AMD.
Intel’s answer? Pulling licensing for ATI to make Intel chipsets. No real shocker there.
