I was over at [H]ard|OCP, and I came across this article.

"MARKHAM, ON, — ATI Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ: ATYT; TSX: ATY) today reached a remarkable milestone, shipping its one millionth DirectX® 9 compliant cinematic visual processing unit (VPU). One million users are now able to experience cinematic-quality graphics and blistering performance with RADEON™ 9700- and RADEON™ 9500-based products powered by the world’s fastest and most advanced VPUs. ATI and its board partners continue to be the only source for DirectX® 9 graphics products."

Congrats to ATI for coming from behind and taking over #1 spot in the graphics arena. It's only going to get more exciting folks.

I missed this earlier unfortunately, and that is my bad, as I live down the street from ATI HQ...I should have known better ;)
