- Maybe its for the fabs

Designing chips and manufacturing chips are two different things. I'm pretty sure that ATI doesn't use the latest cutting edge fabs - 65nm, and investing in that technology will cost an arm and a leg. As GPUs get beefier, they get HOTTER and ATI has been shipping graphics cards with cooling fans for awhile now. Maybe if AMD could help make the chips run cooler, you wouldn't need cooling fans.
As for AMD, getting ATI means they can keep their fabs running at peak capacity - churning out GPUs. Any kind of chip is "core business" for AMD, so this purchase follows their corporate needs. - Posted by: Roger Ramjet Posted on: 07/25/06 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
