ATI Collection

ATI Collection

A collection of hardware manufactured and software published by ATI.

ATI Technologies Inc. was an electronics corporation and a world leader that specialized in the design, development, and manufacture of computer graphics solutions and chipsets for computer desktop and notebook platforms as well as workstation, set-top box, game console and handhold markets.

The company was founded in 1985 in Markham, Ontario as Array Technology Inc. (or ATI) by K.Y. Ho, Lee Ka Lau, Benny Lau, and Francis Lau. ATI's first successful line of integrated graphics cards (sold to IBM and Commodore) allowed the company to rapidly grow into one of the leading manufacturers in its sector and to go public in 1993. By 2001, its revenues exceeded US $1 billion.

ATI introduced several lines of graphics cards and chipsets including EGA and VGA Wonder in the late 1980s, the Mach8, 32, and 64 in the early 1990s, Rage and All-in-Wonder in the second half of the 1990s, and the Radeon line of graphics products in the early 2000s.

In 2006, ATI was acquired by Advanced Micro Devices (or AMD) which continued to use the ATI branding until 2010.

Acquisition: The objects in the collection have been donated by: AMD and Zbigniew Stachniak.
