AMD takeover of ATi is complete

October 25, 2006 @ 11:18 am · Filed under News

Well it is now official that AMD has taken over ATi. Now users who go toATI Radeon X1900 CrossFire Edition Video Card ATi.com will now be redirect to ati.amd.com.

We will not see the effects of the take over in the immediate future but new products from AMD/ATi partnership seems to be pretty likely in the near future with better graphics and now AMD can compete with Intel on integrated graphics for budget PCs.

I for one hope this transition of integrated graphics is a quick one since Intel is “poisoning” the market with cheap and well somewhat useless graphics in both laptops and desktops that lack the features that are capable of running today’s games.
