After watching its market share for the North American desktop PC market slip in a soft third quarter, Advanced Micro Devices Inc. will seek greater profits in 2007 through a new family of quad-core server chips and its acquisition of graphics chip maker ATI.
"From a customer perspective, our integration is completed," said Henri Richard, AMD's chief sales and marketing officer during the company's annual analyst meeting in New York on Thursday. The companies still face several years of work to reach their goal of launching a combined processor and graphics chip called Fusion, but since closing the deal in October, they have already combined sales forces, supply chains and manufacturing facilities.
