Besides, representatives of the company consider, that in the near future a wide circulation will receive so-called GPGPU (general purpose GPU — graphic accelerators which also can make calculations and execute other problems which have been not connected directly with display 3D-schedules).

Representatives ATI also have opened prosects of branch 3D-schedules calculated for the mass consumer. So, it is planned to transfer production GPU to 40-nanometer technological process, and also to introduce the standard of memory GDDR5.

And, at last, experts ATI expect in 2009 of significant improvement of technologies of input/conclusion of the information: touch technologies will evolve, basically, thanks to systems with Microsoft Surface. The TV with the permission, is more than 1920×1080 will appear next year together with so-called digital walls. Three-dimensional displays will use the increasing popularity.

Speaking about rapid development holographic and 3D-technologies, Rik Bergman, the general director of group on graphic cards AMD, has declared: «I can not arrive on Ceatec in 2018, but my hologramme there will be exact».
