    AMD buys ATI

    Today, July 24, AMD just brought ATI for $5.4 billion dollors.

    AMD buying ATI for $5.4 billion - Engadget
    http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/24/amd-buying-ati-for-5-4-billion/
    After months of speculation, including a period when it looked like the supposed deal was surely dead, AMD has now officially announced plans to buy graphics giant ATI for $5.4 billion. The sale, which is scheduled to be completed in the fourth quarter pending shareholder, regulatory, and court approval, will result in AMD paying $20.47 (in a mix of cash and stock) for each share of ATI. As you might expect, the news sent ATI's stock price skyrocketing, while shares of AMD dropped due to investor concern that the semiconductor manufacturer is overpaying for its purchase. AMD CEO Hector Ruiz cited his company's burgeoning relationship with Dell as one of the main reasons for the merger, as the newly-formed entity may now be able to snatch even more Dell business away from rival Intel. Some analysts, however, feel that the deal will have negative consequences in the short term, as it may distract both companies -- already struggling to compete on performance -- from pushing out innovative products in their respective categories. Still, the fact that AMD will now be able to offer integrated graphics solutions to PC manufacturers in the same manner as Intel should be enough to help it gain market share in the long run. Either way, we can't wait to see what the new company has in store for us...[Thanks, Karl]

          Very Awesome.

          Give Dell and Intel a run for their money.

                  It's actually a fairly big deal even if you considered all the products that ATI is in outside of the PC realm.

                          Why would there be a lawsuit. Macs can put Intel and AMD inside their computers.
                          What will Intel and AMD do? Sue Apple? For doing what?

                              I'm pretty sure Gamecube ran on an ATI based card, as will the Wii.

                                  Another good article: http://www.qj.net/AMD-Buys-ATI-for-5...g/49/aid/59664
                                  Reading at the last sentence of the article, this would get really interesting...

                                      Exactly. I think that Xbox had an ATI in it, too.

                                          Take into consideration that AMD is the maker of graphics chipsets for the Xbox 360 and the Nintendo Wii. This will be very interesting indeed.
                                          Quoted from the article I recently posted.

                                              I wonder if they meant ATI instead of AMD.
