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.
October 25, 2006, AMD and ATI joined forces in a transaction that combines AMD’s technology leadership in microprocessors with ATI’s strengths in graphics, chipsets and consumer electronics.

Headquartered in Sunnyvale, California with centers of excellence around the world, the new company has a combined workforce of approximately 14,900 employees. This transaction breaks new ground for both companies and is expected to provide increased customer benefits in four key technology areas:
