nahh ati is called ATI Technologies

so Adavanced Technologies Inc Technologies wouldn't make sense...

i don't think it means anything at all
if you look up it's stock or something.. ATYT.. it'll say the company is called ATI Technologies.

If you look up AMD for example, it'll say Advanced Micro Devices Inc

AMDI?

If you look on Nasdaq they usually list full company names, but it's listed as ATi Technologies. My guess is it stands for nothing, but don't really have the energy to do a full google research.

[ADxS]

The original name when founded (1985) was Array Technologies Inc.

 

[AnitaPeterson]

So, then, if they say now "ATI Technologies" and ATYT for the Nasdaq and all, it means they've got a nasty case of repetition on their hands...

 

[ADxS]

Not really - the name was amended from Array Technologies Inc. to ATI Technologies Inc. - the second name isn't an acronym of the first.

 

[Schadenfroh]

so ati technologys inc is what ATI stands for and ATI Technologys Inc is the full name so what we have here is an infinate loop

 

[zephyrprime]

Array Technologies Inc. to ATI Technologies Inc. - the second name isn't an acronym of the first.

Yeah, that's like when KFC says that "KFC" doesn't stand for "kentucy fried chicken" and the DVD consortium claims that DVD doesn't stand for "digital video disc".

 

[Confused]

zepherprime, DVD did actually stand for "digital video disc", but when it was started to be used for stuff other than just video, they changed it to mean "digital versatile disc".


Well...from what i've heard anyway!


Confused

The question was "what does ATI stand for".
The answer is "it doesn't stand for anything".

ATI Technologies Inc. (?ATI? or the ?Company?) was incorporated pursuant to the Business
Corporations Act (Ontario) by articles of incorporation dated August 20, 1985, as Array Technology Inc.
The Company?s name was subsequently changed to Array Technologies Inc. pursuant to articles of
amendment dated September 13, 1985, and to ATI Technologies Inc. pursuant to articles of amendment
dated December 18, 1985.
