RE: AMD and MAD by: Theo Valich on 8/22/2009
AMD is an American company, incorporated in the state of Delaware with HQ in Sunnyvale, California.

"Arab Micro Devices" is actually now known as GlobalFoundries, and if you're looking through an American xenophobic glasses, you should be thrilled at American companies offshoring millions of jobs outside US, because that's exactly what GlobalFoundries is doing. Good example of rooting for US companies guilty for massive offshorting is the case of Airbus vs. Boeing on US Army tanker deal. EADS (Airbus) wanted to bring 35,000 jobs to US plus some 50,000 support jobs, but no, Boeing should get the tanker deal with off-shored components from Japan, Italy and so on. You should value companies that bring jobs to US.

Now, coming to ATI Evergreen, most of ATI graphics parts are designed by engineers in Santa Clara, Boston and Markham in Canada [true, Markham is now more focused on chipsets and software side].

ATI Evergreen was after all, named after a hotel ;)

Sometimes you have to give Arab Micro Devices credit for being this stupid. It actually takes work to be this stupid.

It is actually funny that AMD loves to launch products the day before 9/11. For a DirectX 11 part, shouldn't they launch it on, say, the 11th? Last product they launched the night before the 11th:

We all knew how that turned out. History has a way of repeating itself due to human stupidity.
I think it is the better place. by: Anonymous on 8/20/2009
US American citizen have pride as well as AMD. AMD decide to take launch in this ship as a symbol to fight an Evil Hegemony (Intel?). This could be a mark for their accomplishment in developing technology and bring it to the people's of United States.
wrong marketing by: Anonymous on 8/20/2009
they should be targeting gamers and not historians.launching at a best buy would have been a better place to launch the cards.
