there are a lot of laymen out there that give me the "Oh, but it has an AMD processor" line as though they just found out that hot girl they're crushing on has herpes.
it'll cost less in terms of marketing exspenes.same reason ford is killing mercury. they will just sell more ford in place of mercurys. same customers.
AMD spends money on marketing?
Oh yea, people here say they own or finance semiaccurate.com. :/
Don't know if it's true or not, but I've heard this as well.
I heard that NVidia uses Stem Cells from Aborted Fetuses in the Fermi. I'm not sure if I believe it, but that's what I heard.

That's a complete lie. The fetuses were not aborted.
AMD needs mindshare to compete with the large presence Intel has, and to do that it needs a simple and consistent brand, image and message.
but the general public views AMD as a cheap knock off of Intel.
Accurately or not, ATi is a brand viewed as going toe to toe with the best in their market while AMD is viewed as a budget company for those who can't afford Intel.
Honestly, it would make more sense for them on a marketing basis to dump the AMD name.

Sorry but I hafta disagree. If you asked an average person on the street they'd be able to tell you that Intel makes computer processors. If you asked an average person on the street who AMD was they'd be like "huh?". That's the problem. That's one of the things that would make it good to get it all under one brand name.
The biggest problem I can see with this is AMD and Nvidia are both corporately colored green. Ati is red. If you retire Ati do you need to turn all the Ati packaging green (in which case everyone will assume it's an nvidia card).
