AMD and ATi merger

Cannyone · July 26th, 2006, 02:51 AM

Regardless of the fact that AMD-ATI are saying they will remain open ended in their dealings with partners. I see this move as being an attempt to divide ATI and Intel by AMD. And, despite the fact that all 3 of my current systems have AMD chips atm, I feel that AMD is going to loose out in it's prce war with Intel. This means that AMD will be nothing more than second rate all around, they won't ever be able to outperform Intel (at least until Intel messes up again...). But this also means that at the least AMD will now drag ATI down to their mediocrity, and we won't have the same competition in the GPU market. This will, in the end, be very bad for consumers.

We'll wind up with "Quad-Cores" that are paired with crappy "on board" video chips.

And AMD-ATI will still be sucking hind tit...

Go and Radeon mobility chips ar still way better then intel intergrated... they have thier own memory, instead of sharing,

i swear though, if my geforce 8 doesn't run as fast as it should in my AM3 system, amd will suffer the consquences.

who ever voted great idea needs to be kicked in the ^$&$

in my point of view now, nVidia faces a dilema ...
post merger. nVidia was the numer one chipset manufacturer for AMD's mobos; and like 10% or less chipsets for Intel's cpu
now after the merger, AMD has the tehnology to buid their own like Intel does

what will nVidia do to keep their market share
as you know, Intel has'nt renewed ATi's licences

found out that the licence is still valid

I've always been a die hard nForce fan since the nForce 2 days. Actually my primary computer is still an nforce2. But the point is I've always been a fan of nvidia chipsets paired with AMD cpus and ATI gpus. It will be very interesting to see what happens next.

My guess is that AMD will still develop gpus under the ATI name, and that things will stay relatively the same with nvidia and ATI dominating the graphics world, while AMD and Intel dominate the cpu world.

As far as motherboard chipsets go, I think things may change significantly for nvidia now. But then again, now that Intel has a respectable CPU architecture to support, nvidia may see it wise to start devoting time into decent support for Core2 CPUs.

I like it. Besides, better AMD than Microsoft, we'd probably end up with genuine validation on the drivers or something else foolish

Not to sound rude, but what does that have to do with the merger of AMD-ATI???

Ati was a small company after this merge, but Nvidia and Intel both are big companies, so they don't need to merge or something, in fact here you can see Nvidia's Reply to ATI+AMD merge:
