    AMD set to light up the GPU market!

    AMD are all set to strom into the GPU market with their first dedicated GPU!

    The leaked spec sheet we've seen shows that they've got a world betater on their hands.

    But suddenly, out of nowhere, AMD have delivered a hammer blow to ATI, NVIDIA and Intel with a stunning new GPU that is set to light up the accelerator scene in a fashion not seen since 3Dfx brought out the Voodoo.
    Check out the full story here.

    There is a complete issue of royalty-rights here as well that simply has not been considered.
    Our investigations have revealed that Dave Neverite and Surewin Asif not only copied our homework for this project, but they have also been recycling old Radeon packets in some vain attempt at a whitewash.
    The fact that they are looking to hire Alan Sugar as Human Resources Director shows just how serious they are about getting to the top in this new business.
    We can only hppe that some of that Sugar culture will sweeten the Dresden shop floor.

    Apollo Fir.....

    Everyone knows Via produced the Apollo KT133 chipset so AMD would have to pay massive royalties to Via to use the Apollo name.
