到处都在一起

摘自AMD官方网站的消息，今天正式确认收购ATI了：

NEW YORK -- July 24, 2006 --AMD (NYSE: AMD) and ATI (TSX: ATY, NASDAQ: ATYT) today announced plans to join forces in a transaction valued at approximately .4 billion. The combination will create a processing powerhouse by bringing AMD’s technology leadership in microprocessors together with ATI’s strengths in graphics, chipsets and consumer electronics. The result: A new and more formidable company, determined to drive growth, innovation and choice for its customers, particularly in the commercial and mobile computing segments and in the rapidly-growing consumer electronics market. Combining technologies, people, and complementary strengths, AMD plans to deliver in 2007 customer-centric platforms for the benefit of customers who want to collaborate in the development of differentiated solutions.

一点感想：

从10年前有第一台电脑到现在，也玩了好多年电脑了
从486时代到现在，已经不知换过多少台机，其中的经历与感慨一言难尽
从第一台机不到1G的硬盘到现在的500G
从8M内存到现在的2G
处理器和显卡速度可能翻了上百倍了
显示器也从14寸的球面CRT变成了现在舒服的19液晶

还记得有许多的并购案件让我难以忘怀：
3dfx被收购
昆腾被收购
IBM的PC部被收购
3Dsmax的公司和Maya的公司都被Autodesk收购...
Micromedia被Adobe收购...

今天看见了AMD收购了ATI，有些意外，但也还算平静。细细想想其中的原因，也无非是为了更好的发展和同对手竞争。当然我们也会有直接的好处，就是可以买到更加先进和便宜的产品了。希望合作后的A-A能够走好  @^____^@
