ATI and AMD confirm business as usual

Doing business with Intel and working with Nvidia

WE HAD the chance to meet Peter Edinger, ATI's VP and Managing director of Europe and Bubba Wolford, an old AMD PR veteran in the same jurisdiction.

Neither was really ready to answer the many intriguing questions that we asked but they both agree that the companies are going to change over time.

They confirmed that ATI is happy to sell its Intel Conroe-ready RD600 chipsets for as long as customers demand it and AMD doesn't have anything against that.

Meanwhile, AMD is focused on its 4x4 platform and is still committed to announce the hardware in Q4 2006. The chaps claim they are on the schedule.

ATI will continue to fulfil its roadmap and there won't be any serious changes over the next two or three quarters to come.

Same goes for AMD. And after that you can expect to see some newborn products to issue from this marriage of convenience.

We still have a couple of days to wheedle some facts out of these guys, but for the time being it seems ATI is on its own and AMD is on its own. µ

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?
