The computer industry is a funny place. One company can be on top for several years, just to be toppled and relegated to the back of the pack within months. In some ways that is what has happened to AMD and ATI. Once these two separate companies were the top dogs; the kings in their respective fields. While NVIDIA struggled with the GeForce 5 ATI shined with the Radeon 9x00 chipsets. And while AMD won the heart of most enthusiast users with the Athlon 64, Intel struggled to offer the same performance/price ration with their P4.
