AMD to actually buy ATI!!!

PHILADELPHIA (Reuters) -- -- Advanced Micro Devices, the No. 2 supplier of computer processors, is close to a deal to buy graphics chip maker ATI for $5.5 billion, a source familiar with the situation said on Friday.

http://money.cnn.com/2006/07/21/tec...on=money_latest



Holy snap, that would definitely be the tech news of the year...

Hmmm..Intel's doing good on their chipsets. I guess they aren't too worried. And they can always form the 2nd front with nVidia..

and then microsoft has to go through any ordeal dealing with monopolies this time on the hardware side of things. But seriously wasn't there a thread about this not too long ago, I guess amd is getting serious since intel will possibly be stealing a lot of their business with conroe coming out.

I doubt Intel would buy nVidia. nVidia has hardly gotten into Intel chipsets, and buying them would mean they have to worry about graphics stuff as well... at a time when they're restructuring and downsizing.

well if intel bought out nvidia then maybe intel puld have decent integrated video on the boards but its not very likely. Also I don't see AMD buying ATI because didn't ATI say something that they'll be supporting conroe with crossfire boards and that?

Ya I think so, because I had read somewhere that intel won't be natively supporting sli in their new boards, so if they bought nvidia it would be pointless and then intel would have trouble using crossfire if amd bought out ati.

Not if the AMD-ATi company decides not to supply Intel chipsets. Or just not Crossfire chipsets.

But that'd still be pretty stupid, because if people are going to buy an Intel chip they will do it, it doesn't mean the new company should lock itself out of a chipset and possibly a couple graphics card sales, which will total to the same cost as the processor.

In my opinion, no offence- this is bullshit. Period.


I don't think, that any of these popular companies, like AMD, Intel, ATi, nVidia, Microsoft are going to buy one of them. They're just happy enough as they're now, and advancing, changing/inventing newer technologies. They're profit is constantly growing, and that's what business is for.

Profit... and trust me, they've got that. No need to change, buy, or to make sister-like companies, when that doesn't promises them for sure more profit.

Well i am disagreeing i belive this is in the works, and isn't bullshit. Also this thing about ati's chipsets, crossfire and intel. yea intels x975 supports crossfire, but i am sure intel can try and stop that, but ati have the rd 600 chipset in the works. this is planning to be a batter overclocking board than any of the intel chipsets, and will obviously have crossfire. It just seems to me amd are trying to open up their options, and with ati, they are getting a company which is known for designing graphics cards, chipsets, and video chips for mobile phones. Having that kinda of side path could quiet easily put amd in a better postion in the long run. On the ati side it would enable them later on to have their own fabs creating their chips, thus should make them more affordable.

Also though, i must admit, i am wanting this to happen cause i like amd's cpus and ati's cards alot, hence i have a venice 3200+ and a x1900xt.

And another bit i wana add, anyone see the amd HTX slot???
anyone thinking what im thinking, along with this amd/ati thing

This is what happens when you get too big and muddled up, and this is exactly what AMD and Intel have been doing. Intel got rid of some of their parts in the restructure, AMD completely sold off the Geode processor line...

There are actually some very good reasons for an AMD-ATi merger. Read this.

I think an AMD-ATI merger would force Intel and nVIDIA together, AMD is going to want to strongly push ATI and AMD compatibilty, stuff that Intel as an outsider, can't do. I just hope what we're all predicting doesn't happen, because for my future computer, I'm currently leaning towards AMD-nVIDIA.

I see no reason why nVidia would be locked out of making AMD chipsets, and with the on-die memory controller, performance between boards will still be similar even if ATi is noe developed in-house with AMD. In fact, if AMD acts like Intel and doesn't take to overclocking, nVidia may see a boost as they will be the only enthuisiast chipset maker while the low-end stuff will have AMD-ATi chipsets.



And I see no reason nVidia and Intel would be pushed together. nVidia just started with Intel chipsets, and Intel still has by far the majority. Intel doesn't need to acquire a company to make chipsets, they don't get the benefit then from buying nVidia AMD does from buying ATi.




Also, saw this which supposedly says the deal has been confirmed. Also interesting is how roadmaps from Intel apparently no longer show anything about ATi chipsets in the future. Methinks this one may be set to happen, perhaps an announcement even tomorrow.

Well it has happened!!!!

just look on ati's or amd site and you will see that this has happened. so now it is all go.

My question is how is this gona effect the r600, as well as develoments with amd for the next year. I personally have a venice core @ 2.9ghz,but will want to upgrade that buy christmas, so i will be keeping a close eye on all of this. do i get a 939 3800+ x2 or wait on tll something else. nobody say get a conroe. thats out of the question, lol

That comment looks a little out of place now, but i suppose that is the benefit of hindsight

I hope the purchase will strengthen AMD's marketshare and help them to increase profits because lately, they have been quite poor. The conroe price-war will also make the situation much worse but we'll have to see what happens - good for us consumers though
