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."

    That's because you are blind to other competitors. I find NV fans are a special breed, and they usually use linux.

    Hey! maybe you should work in a linux support forum :D
