AMD bought out ATI

[gh0st]

If you didn't hear the news, it was a couple days ago.

Anyway, as much as I dispised ATI, with AMD at the helm now, they have started to come up with some great stuff.

Check out this crossfire setup with a new physics card as well as 2 GPUs (of course these would require new motherboards that support 3 GPUs).


WOAH!

Havoc FX can do the exact same thing with Nividia cards. Since ATI never bothered developing an API they don't have any big advantage. Their cards might be a tad better for physics but I'll wait for tests before I buy that.

By 2008, AMD plans to introduce new processor configurations that would integrate the CPU and graphics processor into a single unit. The end result will be smaller, more powerful computers.

That could take years.
PhisX hasn't even taken off yet, although Aegia are trying their best

Re: AMD bought out ATI

This merger is probably one of the best things to ever happen to ATI. ATI’s overall corporate culture needs some new direction and motivation. It has too long been a company “run by the engineers,” and some of that rhetoric does ring true even though it has become cliché. ATI’s execution over the last two years has almost been laughable. ATI constantly has great technology and vision but so many times it does not end up making it to the shelves inside the proper market cycle. I think ATI will become much more of a force in the graphics market with AMD’s visionary management in place. AMD on the other hand has left its future in the hands of companies like VIA and NVIDIA hoping that their motherboard chipset development would lead the way for their K7 and K8 cores. For the most part AMD has been “lucky” with its chipset choices and partnerships, but even so AMD needs to be in control of its own AMD processor-based motherboard chipset development. Obviously ATI’s latest motherboard chipset technologies have started to grow in reliability and performance and will be a great basis for AMD to build on in order to gain better control of their core products. Certainly Intel’s Viiv is no longer alone as AMD/ATI will likely have a better overall solution, but that is yet to be seen. I have to think that the AMD/ATI merger will surely benefit end users by providing more competition and innovation in the PC marketplace. And for those of you worrying about ATI video cards going the way of the dinosaur, you have no worries and will likely see better products in the future.
