As a major fabless semiconductor company, ATI conducted research and development in-house and outsourced the manufacturing and assembly of its products. With the decline and eventual bankruptcy of 3dfx in 2000, ATI and its chief rival emerged as the dominant players in the graphics processors industry, eventually forcing other manufacturers into niche roles.
