Pro Gaming gets bigger Professional gaming has grown steadily over the last seven years and now is pursuing mainstream acceptance and financial success. That's what is being said anyway as year after year more and more people get into pro gaming. The thing is could it ever be a spectator sport? There is already a CS radio station dedicated to commenting on the game but perhaps this is a bit too far? Personally I think this all lacks one thing, crashes + danger. Nothing can replace real sports with real unpredictable crashes and accidents which is why we all watch F1 right? Well, maybe I speak for myself but I think it misses such things. IBM is going to buy AMD, sooner or later The two companies' design efforts are based in IBM's East Fishkill facility - the same location that's playing host to Big Blue's advanced 130nm production line, out of which 64-bit PowerPC 970 processors will flow for Apple and future GeForce FX graphics chips for NViDiA. It's all part of IBM's scheme to expand its role as one of the world's leading chip foundries and challenge the likes of Taiwan's TSMC and UMC. The rumoured AMD-oriented fab may arise from a deal the two companies have struck to enable AMD to reduce the latter's need to invest in costly chip-making plant. There's no doubt that the cost of developing next-generation chip production techniques and facilities is increasing.
