(InfoWorld) - The former chief executive of ATI Technologies has resigned from Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) just nine months after the two companies combined in aÂ $5.4 billion merger. AMD said Tuesday that David Orton will resign as executive vice president after working through the end of this month. AMD had convinced Orton to remain with the company byÂ signing him to a $1.7 million contractÂ in October, shortly before completing the merger. As the president and CEO of ATI, Orton led efforts to compete with rival Nvidia in the building of high-end graphics boards for PCs, as well as cellphones, smartphones, and gaming consoles. By acquiring ATI, AMD hoped to become more competitive with Intel by creating aÂ single "Fusion" chipÂ that integrates its x86 microprocessor with ATI's graphics processor on a single piece of silicon. AMD wanted to retain Orton along with his ATI colleagues because of his ability to push ATI to success in the graphics, chip set, and consumer-electronics markets, said Dirk Meyer, AMD's president and chief operating officer, in a statement released Tuesday. However, AMD expects it will take until 2009 to complete the engineering necessary to bring the new Fusion chip to market. In the meantime, the chip vendor has been suffering from the effects of aÂ price warÂ that has made just a small dent in the profits of its much larger rival Intel. By contrast, AMD has watched its profits sink into the red, reportingÂ losses of $611 millionÂ and $574 million for its past two fiscal quarters. In a search for operating cash, AMD even decided to sell off a stake of the company,Â raising $2.2 billionÂ through the sale of convertible notes to institutional investors. That financial pressure may have been one factor contributing to Orton's departure. In a statement released Tuesday, Orton said he still had faith in the companies' merger strategy. "It is with mixed feelings that I am leaving AMD," Orton said. "I am very optimistic about AMD's future. I believe strongly in the strategies that brought AMD and ATI together and the talented employees of the 'new AMD' who are committed to winning in the market." In the wake of Orton's departure, AMD said that its CEO Hector Ruiz would now be the direct supervisor of Adrian Hartog, senior vice president and general manager for the consumer electronics group, and Rick Bergman, senior vice president and general manager for the graphics products group. Also this week, AMD renewed its determination to continue its price war with Intel, announcing Monday that it wasÂ cutting prices on its range of desktop PC chips, from the top-end Athlon 64 FX through the Athlon 64 X2 and Sempron families. In the longer term, AMD hopes to regain profitability with itsÂ "Barcelona" quad-core Opteron server chip. AMD plans to launch that processor in August to compete with Intel's dual-core "Woodcrest" and quad-core "Clovertown" Xeon processors launched last year, and quad-core "Harpertown" server chip due out in the fourth quarter of 2007. AMD may provide more details on Orton's departure and its new strategies when the vendor reports second-quarter fiscal 2007 earnings on July 19. Â
