AMD buys ATi
Joining forces to battle Intel and NVIDIA...

Buisness partners somtimes make strange bedfellows, or somthing like that...
Ok, whatever..
The real deal is this could be an interesting merger between to embattled companies. I only wish that AMD had merged with NVIDIA...oh well. This does have the making of some pretty monumentous happenings. Keep your eyes here for updates!

"Driver Heaven: - Where do you see AMD/ATI gaining strength by this deal? Any potential losses by it?

Jon Carvill: We plan to promote our complementary business strengths, including industry-leading products, technologies, manufacturing leadership, geographic strengths, and customer and partner base. In the near term, 2007, we should be able to deliver new customer-centric, open platforms for key market segments faster than either company could have done alone. Today we both have “go-to-market” strategies. By putting them together, because we have such complementary strengths, we believe we will create an “accelerate-to-market” strategy to allow us to deliver in 2007 products that will bring very specific value to customers in key segments like commercial and mobile markets. We will aim to transform processing technology with general-purpose, media-centric, data-centric and graphic-centric open platforms, to re-engineer the future, in 2008 and beyond."
