On a side note. I felt alone when I went to their official ATI forums the other day. I was the ONLY one signed in for a few hours.  Right, they're not flushing $5 billion down the toilet. They're getting rid of a logo - not the technology. Their new CPUs and GPUs will be built on the same die. They'll also continue to produce cards. its more like. they are getting rid of the logo but not the company or products. they are slapping on the lead companies instead.
only the branding is changed. | My System Specs |

I've mostly since 10 years used AMD processors & Ati cards combined. Last year was the first time i'm on Intel proc, but stayed on an Ati graphics. Can't really tell about Nvidia, but Ati gave enough satisfation over the years. (i'm not a gamer, just photos/pictures editing). Well, a new logo (green on red)? Why not, it will be easy to be recognized. | | My System Specs | | Computer type PC/Desktop

I'm an Intel and NVIDIA user whenever possible, but I have to say I don't think either brand name (AMD or ATI) is particularly strong. AMD CPUs have, IMO, been in second-place for a long time, and ATI and NVIDIA are constantly outdoing each other. I'm not sure what they hope to gain by this... | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Alienware X51

"AMD vs NVidia" might look better to AMD, but I'm not sure it looks better to consumers... Average joe consumer will wonder if the "AMD" video card will even work in his "Intel" computer. Plus, unless people KNOW that AMD bought ATI, they'll be wondering just what AMD knows about video anyway and why theyshould be trusted with it.
To me AMD has less marketing cache than ATI did. If anything rebranding AMD CPUs to ATI would have been just as "smart" (or not smart).
I'm kind of surprised that that merger was even allowed to happen. What happens if AMD makes "AMD Video" cards somehow proprietary with custom AMD busses. Then intel and nvidia get in bed and do the same? A MASSIVE amount of choice will be removed from the consumer.  | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Scratch built
