AMD-ATI Merger on the Way?

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the by-your-powers-combined-i-am-cpt-hardware dept.

miketronics writes "Forbes.com is reporting the possibility of a merger between industry heavyweights AMD and ATI. This is largely based on a 'prediction on recent checks in the PC food chain' by industry analyst Apjit Walia. A move like this might give AMD some leverage over Intel, who has been slashing prices lately to compete with a major surge in AMD popularity in both the home and server markets. Despite AMD's recent gains Intel still has a dominant market share and consumers have high hopes for their upcoming Conroe processors."

    When I read the title, I just knew that the first post would be some AMD+NVidia-loving fucktard who is deeply disappointing that the two most homosexual companies won't cuddle up like he does with his daddy in the shower.

    Fuck, you disgusting morons are so predictable it's creepy. I'll even go as far as saying the AMD+NVidia fanbois are more pathetic and lifeless than the worst breed of ugly Mac-zealots.

    Unfortunately when DiamondMM lost the first video card wars and ATI got really huge, their driver quality sank very quickly
    You say that like the average Linux driver is high quality.
