Aunque mucha gente asumia que algo asi iba a pasar eventualmente, ya es algo confirmado.

AMD planea deshacerse de la marca ATI y empezar a comercializar todo bajo la marca AMD

Aqui una nota de la revista online The Escapist:

  Quote
It's a sad day for PC nerds, as AMD has confirmed that it's taking the venerable ATI brand out behind the woodshed and sending it off to hardware heaven.

Founded in 1985, ATI was regarded for years as a true Canadian success story. It achieved early success with the Wonder and Rage series of video cards and broke new ground in the mid-90s with the All-in-Wonder lineup, the first video cards to feature integrated TV tuners. The debut of the Radeon series in 2000 was another big success and while its fortunes fluctuated over the years as it grappled for supremacy with rival GPU maker nVidia, it remained an Industry Playa throughout. But in 2006 the company was acquired by AMD in a deal worth more than $5 billion and while the name has been maintained in the years since, those days are now over.

AMD has confirmed with the Tech Report that it intends to eliminate the brand from future product lines. A "major motivator" for the decision is the upcoming release of the Fusion line, which will combine CPU and GPU technology on a single chip. AMD also said that it is "on a roll" and making significant headway against nVidia, shipping more discrete graphics units than its competitor in the past quarter and also coming out ahead with some "high-profile design wins."

The company's own internal research also indicated that consumers who know something about graphics cards, which is to say the people most likely to buy them, are aware of the Radeon brand name and that their preference for AMD triples when they know about the AMD/ATI merger. This, according to the company, "indicates 'permission' to consolidate under the AMD brand." Current Radeon hardware will continue to carry the ATI name to help avoid confusion but beginning later this year, new products will be released sporting an AMD Radeon badge.

ATI may have been considered a terrible idea at various points throughout its history but there were at least as many moments of shining brilliance and if you've been a PC gamer for any length of time, you've almost certainly used at least one of its products somewhere along the line. I've had several, most recently the Radeon 9700, seriously outdated by current standards but a fantastic card in its day, and even well past it. In all honesty, the end of ATI is probably long overdue, but with all that water under the bridge it's still a little bit sad to see it go.

Lol bueno yo no lo veo como un "RIP" es nada mas un cambio de nombre al branding nada mas si no me equivoco, AMD va a seguir sacando tarjetas graficas, van a seguir dando soporte a ellas nada mas q bajo la marca AMD Radeon, en lugar de ATI Radeon y eso es todo.

Ya quiero ver los nuevos chips mixtos a ver q tal.

En otras noticias Acclaim cierra por segunda vez ! , bueno eso si es noticia.

Ahora bien Don Sky tiene toda la jeta llena de razón, AMD es dueña de Ati pero aún asi eran compañias por aparte, ahora van a ser la misma cosa, van a cambiar talvéz para mejor talvéz para peor, dirijiendonos a un caso como el de Activision - BLizzard, ya sabemos que el cambio siempre será para peor.

ATI es de AMD desde hace unos 4 años, este movimiento es meramente de marketing, la empresa va a seguir tal como la conocemos desde entonces... Edited by kLorD
