I'm old enough that I may have been an owner of one of ATI's first products, as I began my addiction career as a technology enthusiast way back in the hoary days of the Commodore 64. And while we can now look forward to a year of celebrating AMD graphics and most likely a final end-of-the-year party come next August, why not start out with a brief look at where AMD/ATI started and where they are now? If we're lucky, maybe AMD even has a secret product announcement, but if so they haven't provided any details. While they're being a bit coy about the exact contents of the Livecast, we do know that there will be three game developers participating along with a live overclocking event. It appears this is more a celebration of their graphics division, formerly ATI, which was founded in… August, 1985.ĪMD is apparently looking at a year-long celebration of the company formerly known as ATI, Radeon graphics, and gaming.
Except we're not really talking about the foundation of AMD they had their start in 1969. Thirty years is a long time, and certainly we have a lot of readers that weren't even around when AMD had its beginnings. AMD sent us word that tomorrow they will be hosting a Livecast celebrating 30 years of graphics and gaming innovation.
