AMD goes with buying ATI

Read this article.

I mentioned this possibility few days ago, and was wondering how this would affect consoles. Apparently, I'm not alone in wondering about AMD getting in with consoles.

Although the Nvidia whores will throw trantrums, I think this will be a positive move. Intel has been integrating their own chipsets for a while, which has given them an edge. With AMD having ATI on its side, the score may slowly even up.

Intel boards are crap in my opinion, but their processors are definitely reliable. With this news, I'm thinking that AMD and ATI should be able to merge some good chipsets for some good competitive products.
