Looks like a good move for economies of scale, the new company, instead of being called AMDATI, can just be called AMDTI.

I'm not sure they can put things together fast enough to help their sales slump but this does concentrate a bunch of nice technology under one roof!

Personally I'd like to see Macs use AMDs.
Still think the Intel move wasn't a good one.
But hey, that's just me.
Take care,
Chris

Sales slump? AMD is seeing its highest profits since it was incorperated!!! And ATi is doing great with it X1900 series, they are outselling the 7900 series from nVidea.
