Intel Notebook Chip is not compatible with Vista?

Yesterday, the Indian press circulated that only the new AMD Turion 64 X2 microprocessor was optimized for 64-bit versions of Vista, and Intel was secretly removed from the game.

According to DNA India, the AMD acquisition of ATI Technologies for $ 5.4 billion was officially completed by the end of last week, marking the acquisition of the largest chipset company ever.

" The future goal of the acquisition is to create platforms that integrate and develop a new family of processors called Fusion, combining CPUs with graphics processing units. The time of AMD's acquisition of ATI for see this as the latest bullet that the company aimed at Intel in the uncompromising battle between the two ", analysis DNA India.

But with the new Windows Vista operating system coming up, this acquisition also has a different meaning, a "symmetrical" significant in terms of time. Some senior Microsoft officials have acknowledged that "ATI's contribution to Vista's graphics initiatives is huge".

After AMD bought out ATI, of course, these "contributions" would be taken over, and the Turion 64 X2 chip would be the only mobile processor on the market today compatible with the 64-bit version of Vista. AMD is also working closely with Microsoft to identify and develop key hardware components that can support Vista, disclosed DNA India.

Considering Microsoft's dominance of the operating system market, the AMD-ATI contract is clearly overwhelming Intel. It also ensures a surge in profits and an improved market share for AMD.

From an ATI perspective, the "selling yourself" case for AMD is a logical and inevitable step. Some information leaked that Intel is developing its own graphics processing chip, and as such, ATI can be knocked out of the game at any time. As a result, ATI needs a big brother to cling to and survive. Is anyone better than AMD?

Chris Hook, AMD's PR director, acknowledged the role of Vista's postponement of the release of ATI. " That is one of the many important reasons behind this merger ."

Of course, ATI will not conduct long-term research and development for this Intel chip platform. " We will not provide Intel chipsets in the coming years ." We have not seen any comments from Intel on this information yet.
