thats kinda cool I guess, just kinda odd they are dropping the brand name.
Yup. Its gonna be weird buying an AMD graphics card.

This may or may not be true. I found this at http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20060808-7446.html
I'm not saying one story or the other is true, just pointing out that we can't believe everything we read on the net.

One of the unforeseen ramifications of the AMD-ATI hookup is the new hyper-rumor-transport bus, a new technology whereby unsubstantiated rumors become fact at an alarming rate. I lamented this sad state of affairs a few weeks ago when patently false information regarding motherboard licensing was making its way around the 'net, and now we get to do it again.
Yesterday CustomPC claimed that AMD was going to scrap the ATI brand, inferring this in a most dubious manner. AMD's Gareth Cater had told them that AMD would, in fact, retain its name after the buyout was finished, meaning that AMD would remain AMD for the foreseeable future. CustomPC then assumed that this would mean that ATI as a brand was going to be dropped, reported it as such. The echo-chamber did the rest. For our part, we contacted AMD public relations folks yesterday, assuming that the story was bogus.
And alas, it is. AMD is now responding to the story, saying "AMD has no plans to drop the ATi brand name or ATi's product brands. The ATi name will live on at AMD as our leading consumer brand, and so will the Radeon brand and other ATi product brands. AMD's executive management knows very well the power and value of branding, and ATi's branding is some of the most valued in the global technology industry."
The ATI brand isn't going anywhere.
AMD RADEON X1900 just doesnt sound good.
It is not true. I forgot where i saw it (I think somewhere on totalbf2.com) but ATI is still going to be ATI.
Lol intel GeForce 7900
They are not changing the name. I think someone at Custom PC misunderstood Gareth Cater of AMD.

I'm away from the tech forum a few days (not even a few days i think) and hell broke loose.
it will still be ATI. AMD knows damn well that changing it they lose every dollar put in marketing for ATI, and the things the name presents (top quality).
something more interesting: asus and gigabyte are going to work together.... but that would be hi-jacking this topic .... meh... going to bf2, not finishing post.
