http://news.techwhack.com/4128/amd-ati-apple/ Apple Computer is sitting there crying now that ATI graphics is gone, mostly because they are going to have to use Intel Graphics now. Which will take a massive Hit on their Graphic and Gaming Performance.
But ATI was their bigger Graphics supporter just like the Xbox360 and the Gamecube almost All gaming consoles take ATI i don't know what will happen to ATI graphics after complete take over from AMD. Will they loose contracts from the Gaming industry or will they expand and gain more ground. Only AMD can deside if they will ruin their old relationship or be introduced as ATI's Husband and all will be fun and happy in the Gaming world

For the record ATI bought out Artx the original designers of the graphics processor for the GameCube.
So what your saying is, Now that AMD married ATI the Nitendo Wii will have a logo saying "AMD Integrated"? or will ATI will still reign Supreme? And Why does'nt Nitendo use Core 2 Duo or some new gen Processer Instead of them Crappy IBM cpus that Apple threw away.
That article is also incorrect since it says that Intel has canceled its license with ATI. Intel has already confirmed that so far this is not the case.
I forgot about Apple. And that being said, Apple is another reason why Intel has a reason not to cancel their license with ATI. Apple wants a real integrated GPU, not Intel's POS. So if Intel cuts ATIs license, Intel looses money in royalties from ATI because Nvidia already has a license and Apple would probably go to them for graphics.
And the Wii is coming out before the two companies can legally merge so it will definitely not have any kind of AMD logo on it and most likely not an ATI logo. Do you see an ATI logo anywhere on the Xbox360?
Do you really think that AMD would scrap a brand name like ATI?! Also if i'm not mistaken aren't the 2 companies supposed to remain "seperate" entities brandwise?

That team's first project was R300. I have every confidence that with R600 history will repeat itself.

No I just wanted to point out, that the GameCube had nothing to do with ATI.
So this ATI Licence finishing Will mean that Apple will have to forced to have Sexual Intercourse with Nvidia or it's Intel Integrated CRAP on all Graphic levels because Intel's ditched ATI from now on. And im pretty sure If intel does Apple follows because It's Intel that Apple is relying on right? And if intel Ditches ATI so now Apple can't have a say in this they will have to ditch ATI support too.

What are you talking about? Apple's Intel computers use a custom designed motherboard with an Intel chipset. It doesn't have anything to do with ATI's bus license at all. Apple also doesn't use ATI integrated graphics in it's Intel computers. The MR X1600 may be soldered to the motherboard but it still uses a PCIe bus and is not an IGP.
Personally, if Intel wants to discourage ATI graphics usage and encourage nVidia usage instead, Apple would be the first to switch since they are supposed to be the flashy "technology trend setter". I'm betting that Apple's Core 2 computers will mostly use nVidia graphics chips (and Intel chipsets obviously).

Do you honestly think Nintendo could get enough Core 2 Duos at a reasonable price for a game console? Also, I doubt Intel would actually sell them the chips the way a game console needs. When Sony bought the emotion engine, it gave them the ability to produce their own chips so die shrinks could be administered to cut costs after the manufacturing process matures. As we saw with the Xbox's Pentium3 Coppermine, Intel provided the chips and they never had a die shrink which kept the CPU manufacturing costs at a high throughout the console's lifetime, which equaled a loss for every console made thanks to the larger CPU die.
