The acquisition of ATI Technologies by Advanced Micro Devices obviously would obviously catalyze roadmap changes for both companies, however, at this point no one can tell how exactly plans of the companies are going to change. An analyst from American Technology Research believes that eventually “the new AMD” would scrap the discrete graphics chips business.

“After analysis of the options, we believe AMD could divest the discrete GPU business and still achieve the company’s longer term goal to integrate a CPU and GPU onto a single silicon chip,” said Doug Freedman of American Technology Research in a note to clients.
