AMD ha annunciato, con il comunicato stampa di seguito allegato, la fusione con ATI: le due aziende hanno così realizzato una workforce che può contare su circa 14.900 lavoratori e vantare un enorme potenziale tecnologico che trae la sua origine dalla posizione di primo piano occupata da AMD nel settore dei processori e da ATI in quello dei chip grafici. La sede principale della nuova realtà sarà localizzata a Sunnyvale, in California (USA). Il Desktop e Mobile Computing, come pure il Consumer Digital Media, sono i settori del mercato che risentiranno maggiormente della nascita di questa joint venture.
