Cadence and ATI Team to Form Broad Reaching Partnership - 4:23 pm EST - MrB
I saw this press release over at Beyond3d. ATI has formed a partnership with Cadence to use its technology in the designing future chips. It will be used to overcome technology challenges at 90 nanometers and below.

Cadence Design Systems, Inc. today announced a broad reaching partnership with ATI Technologies, Inc., a world leader in the design and manufacture of innovative 3D graphics and digital media silicon solutions. Under the agreement, ATI will standardize on Cadence SoC Encounter and a wide spectrum of other Cadence tools.

Cadence's ability to provide leadership and end-to-end design solutions makes it a natural partner for customers consolidating on fewer electronic design suppliers. ATI plans to incorporate Cadence technologies into its design environment to enhance the ATI design flow. Cadence will provide ATI with access to Cadence's internal research and development team as well as onsite migration support to assist ATI in the adoption of new Cadence technology.

"We have tremendous respect for ATI and look forward to helping them solve their toughest design challenges at 90 nanometers and below," said Penny Herscher, executive vice president and chief marketing officer at Cadence. "Complex graphics and digital media chip designs demand the best technology solutions, and it's rewarding that ATI chose Cadence as its partner, for our technology leadership across the board and, in particular, the industry-leading Encounter platform. The goal of this expanded agreement is a Cadence-centric flow that meets the majority of ATI's design needs today, and that we collaborate to meet their needs in the future."

"This partnership with Cadence is essential to help us meet the technology challenges at 90 nanometers and below," said Greg Buchner, vice president of engineering at ATI Technologies. "As we design the world's most complex graphics chips and forge the future of the 3D graphics industry, it is imperative that we work with the best technology available. For this reason, we selected Cadence as our premier design partner for our electronic design technology flow."

The agreement is initially for three years and includes a broad range of Cadence technology.

Jason in all aspects your score should be higher than mine. I will post mine just because I don't want you to feel bad towards me over this.

This is the latest bench ran on my system.
I am looking forward to a XP2400+ or a XP2600+ as soon as the funds are available to cover the purchase.

WOW! Your score is better than I had expected, the way you were talking I thought your score would be like 11,000 or so.
Good thing I didn't spot you 100 points.
You get the PC1066 and setup your mobo to run the PC1066 at posted speeds, you will beat me.
