Farewell ATi ...

According to information from several online resources, AMD in connection with the purchase of ATI is going to get rid of the famous brands. Now, not only the processors, but the video card is likely to be called AMD. Will I lose Radeon brand, or, say, Imageon - unknown. At least they sound like Athlon or Sempron

Richard Baker (Richard Baker) from AMD says that the brand Radeon (which, incidentally, is more recognizable than ATI; like true for GeForce and NVIDIA), in contrast to ATI, is likely to remain alive. In any case, the issue is still under discussion. However, Baker noted that the purchase of ATI by AMD should be viewed as the absorption rather than a merger. Simply put - the reins and address key issues AMD reserves, and it seems more than logical that the absorbed company will take the name of its new owner.

Chris Hook (Chris Hook), representative of ATI, on the question of the relation to the change of signs simply shrugged. "I have no personal attachments to the name of the company, we will continue to do its job under any brand." Name ATI really can go down in history, and the next generation of video cards decorate green icon AMD. The final decision on issues relating to the names, go away for a few days, so the wait is long.
