Prove that it ain't a photoshop Wink

This picture doesn't look 'real' too me (It's more a normal image used for product pages).

And read this: iXBT.COM - AMD raskryvaet novye dateli Fusion
The third (last) picture tells me: 'All discrete graphics products and Intel-based chipsets will be branded ATI'.

So, I'm pretty much convinced that the new cards will be ATi branded

Hm, haven't seen or heard of AMD Graphics Boards myself yet.

IMHO, there would be a shock going through the devoted ATI community if that happened anytime soon.
Chipsets... okay (why not, AMD Chipset for intel, like in the very old days)...
But Standalone GFX... should be kept to the Name that people trust for Graphics.

An AMD Radeon X1950 sounds just as strange as a hypothetical ATI Athlon64 X2 5200+, for example Tongue

(I think they know that, therefor they won't touch the hand that is feeding them : long-time evolved and established brand names)

lolz no need to prove it can't you see that that image is computer rendered , heh i can as many others , can you prove that it is real then ?

Learned have I that not to believe everything that is written because that has same effect of like believing in the luck of a horseshoe which is mostly nonsense.

@ FalconFly

I agree and it would also be bad for marketing as well ATi is so well known since 1985 why would AMD not use the ATi brand name for marketing by selling ATi GFX cards, if I were smart I would keep the ATi brand name in the GFX cards thereby not decreasing my stocks.

No I can't see it is computer generated AND it is not unusual for a company to buy out another and start slapping their logos on the hardware.

It is VERY common.

Unless you can point out artifacts or some other proof the image is digitally altered then your opinion is just speculation.

a speculation it is but real the photo is not Wink

what is known is what FalconFly explained like NirtoX Infinity did also.

Quote:

@paulpsomiadis: Almost;

1. Chipsets (including integrated graphics) for AMD systems will use the AMD brandname.

2. Chipsets (including integrated graphics) for Intel systems will use the ATI brandname.

3. Graphics chips that go on PCB's (videocards) will also keep the ATI brandname.

no offence but that is what I rather believe

LOL.

You need to read back what you just posted.

A quick Google search indicates the picture is real, indeed on one site someone close to ATI headquarters indicates that all the ATI flags and logos are already gone. (Replaced with AMD)

It is possible the "AMD" logos will be used for high end products and ATI for low end, time will tell.

sorry I see no mistakes, the photo looks very fake, I came across it on some chinese site lol, not´s like i can read them but then again doesn´t say it´s real right ?

Oh well somethings may look real which are not that real afterall, in otherwords does it matter ?

Rather wait till the real thing get´s on shelves then we can see if it will happen but in the dutch news it was stated that this will not happen anyways like NitroX Infinity said.

Sorry but I don´t feel like worring about it since it isn´t that important. Undecided

If your going to state that something is fake, then please have something based on facts to show us.
