Default AMD acquisition of ATI might change things for Apple Computers

AMD recently announced their decision to acquire the makers of computer graphic cards and controllers ATI. This deal is expected to boost AMD’s capabilities to compete against the microprocessor giants Intel.

However, this deal is now expected to cause troubles for Apple Computers, which recently shifted from IBM’s PowerPC processors to Intel processors.

Apple Computers have a business relationship with ATI and they use graphics controllers developed by them on MacBook Pro and iMac.

Intel has already confirmed that they are not going to renew ATI’s chipset bus license and the long-term result could see Apple change the graphic systems on their products, which are developed by ATI.

Apple might have to start using Intel’s own 950 graphics system or to expand their relationship with NVIDIA.
