MARKHAM, ON – December 5, 2005 – ATI Technologies Inc. (TSX:
ATY, NASDAQ: ATYT), the leader in mobile graphics technology, today
announced its MobilityTM Radeon X1600 graphics processor has been
chosen to drive the revolutionary new ASUS A7G multimedia performance
notebook. ATI's Mobility Radeon X1600 delivers innovative Avivo
technology for a superior quality, high-definition visual experience
with lightening-fast graphics performance. It is also based on the 90
nanometer design process, which provides better performance using less
power.
The ASUS A7G notebook is an all-in-one digital multimedia solution,
featuring 17.1” widescreen display, built-in TV tuner and
high-definition audio with four onboard speakers, Webcam, microphone
and more. Backed by ATI's Mobility Radeon X1600 and Avivo, A7G delivers
stunning, true-to-life visuals, incredibly smooth video playback and
exceptional graphics performance—from personal video recording and high
definition TV, to enthusiast-level gaming.
“ASUS is pleased to deliver the first notebook with ATI's Mobility
Radeon X1600 and Avivo technology to the market and in doing so
ushering in an exciting new era in unsurpassed visual realism and
performance,” said Tony Chen, General Manager of Notebook Department.
“By selecting ATI and Mobility Radeon X1600, based on 90 nanometer
process technology, we are truly able to drive the performance-thin
mobile market to the next level.”
A7G's lightening-fast graphics performance rivals that of a desktop
replacement notebook, but in a thinner and lighter form factor, making
it as ideal for the multimedia enthusiast as it is for the seasoned
business traveler.
“ATI is committed to driving mobile graphics innovation forward to
enable us to deliver the highest performing, best quality products to
our customers.” said David Cummings, Director of ATI's Mobile Business
Unit. “We are pleased ASUS has selected ATI to help it deliver the
world's first notebook that uses Mobility Radeon X1600 graphics. With
the launch of A7G, ASUS is introducing a notebook that provides
unprecedented performance and stunning image quality in a portable,
low-power package.”
As versatile as it is future proof, the A7G, with Mobility Radeon
X1600 is also ready to support the current requirements of Microsoft's
next-generation operating system, Windows Vista, which is scheduled to
launch in 2006.
The A7G will be available in Europe and Asia immediately. For more
