>ATI t-shirt straight in from Markham.
Curious how much of AMD Radeon GPU development now is being done in Markham-Canada, as AFAIK, the modern Radeon architecture stems from ATI's acquisition of ArtX[1], a US-based spin-ff of SGI, which was responsible for the GPUs in the Nintendo GameCube, Wii and many other innovations like programable shaders, later found in ATI/AMD GPUs.
>Much of that team is European now though from what I hear, and they’re generally a good bunch.
I didn't know AMD has a GPU design team in Europe. Where? I know they had a fab in Germany and they have an office for the Ryzen and Infinity Fabric R&D in Romania, but I had no idea they do GPU stuff as well in Europe. Where is that office?
