B.Ob. Posted July 24, 2006 Author Share Posted July 24, 2006 Its Done!!! AMD & ATI: A Processing Powerhouse "On July 24, 2006, AMD and ATI announced a plan to join forces, in a transaction that will combine AMD’s technology leadership in microprocessors with ATI’s strengths in graphics, chipsets and consumer electronics. The result is a processing powerhouse: a new competitor, better equipped to drive growth, innovation and choice for its customers in commercial and mobile computing segments and in rapidly-growing consumer electronics segments. The transaction, valued at US $5.4 billion, is expected to close in Q4 2006 subject to approval by ATI shareholders, court approval, regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions."

B.Ob. Posted July 24, 2006 Author Share Posted July 24, 2006 Interesting stuff: AMD has to buy ATI to survive "Short term, this means Intel will have to grin and bear it, or have absolutely no gaming platform with dual GPUs. For 2007, it means it sticka with the deals they have, or are stuck with the slower GPU on their platform. We're putting our money on it staying put, and taking classes on how to not visibly wince when asked about AMD Crossfire on an Intel box." AMD Processor Pricing - Effective July 24, 2006 Athlon 64 X2 3800+ (socket AM2 only) $152 AMD-ATI Conference Call Transcript Q: Fabs? Why not bring it over to AMD? Barriers? A: ATI has great experience with foundries and hard to duplicate. Years of work. We are on a different manufacturing. In the near term not a serious consideration. No synergies commented on are fab-related. "Won't consider it" in the near term. AMD constrained. 1-2 years internal capacity is entirely AMD. No plans in that timeframe. Outside of that we think of ATI products being part of our products to use our capacity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
