ATI to offer 965-equivalent chipsets

By

ATI Technologies is looking to offer 965-equivalent chipsets for the Intel’s Conroe platform, according to company CEO Dave Orton. In addition, the graphics chip vendor is in talks with Intel about providing its CrossFire dual-card graphics technology to Intel’s recently-introduced 965 chipsets, said Orton, adding that the decision has not yet been finalized.

ATI unveiled new integrated chipsets – the RS600, RD600 and RD500 – at the ongoing Computex 2006 IT fair, as well as presented a lineup of Radeon 1000 GPU products. In response to Nvidia’s ambition in the handheld device-use GPU market, Orton stated ATI’s March acquisition of Shanghai-based XGI Technology and a May takeover of Bitboys Oy this year have further enhanced the company’s R&D capability in multimedia and handheld device solution technologies.
