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.

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.
