AMD buy ATI

[Lord Darkstorm]

..quite a surprise for me. the inquirer was predicting it to happen a couple of months ago at computex, but it didn't quite happen. Now, it has. Here's an interesting article on why:

The next couple of years are going to be very interesting.

Yeah it's come as a shock for me tbh, a good one though. Should give nvidia/intel a good run for their money

Yeah it is a shock considering i've got an intel processor and an ati chip... they'll probably sue me now heheh. Nah just kidding, hope this means cheaper prices because ATI's newer cards are usually to the max.

I wonder what apple has to say about that one, since they use intel, and sometimes nVidia...

According to articles, ATI + AMD should benefit everyone.
...And the processor wars go on...
...And so does the graphics card wars...

Somewhat better article sources

Ok dokey since this has generated a bit of excitement
AMD's aquisition of ATI (and more) CRN news service.
Interview with AMD about the aquisition on tuesday for people curious about what THEY say (as opposed to an analyst).

And it looks like AMD is going to make gpu's in its dresden factory, making them somewhat cheaper.
