I Don’t Want to Brag, But…
… I hit that nail square on!
As I surmised in a Geek Alert last month, in response to learning about the merger between AMD, the best CPU chip maker on the planet (am I gushing?) and ATI, the largest maker of Graphics silicon, engineers will start working on a new unified chipset promising to host a GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) and a CPU (Central Processing Unit) on the same wafer of silicon.
This is great news for consumers, as it may eliminate the daunting extra cost of a graphics card, the fastest of which can cost over $500. Its also good for enthusiasts like me (can’t you tell?) because upgrade paths are simplified.
From an industry standpoint this move, if successful, will redraw the map. It should be interesting.
