ATI had a major presence at the annual Worldwide Developers Conference last week. Not only did the Radeon 9600 Pro and Radeon 9800 Pro make their debut, they were used in demos and display machines throughout the show floor. Several members of the Mac development team were also present, gathering feedback and bug reports from other developers. Chris Bentley and Bruno Fernandes took a breather to answer IMG's questions about this year's WWDC, Panther, the Power Mac G5, and their new graphics cards. Here is an excerpt from the interview:

IMG: What does the ATI Mac team hope to accomplish at WWDC?

Chris Bentley: Well, my main reason is to meet with developers. We talk with these guys all year long, so it's nice to get some time to just hang out with the guys from Westlake, Omni, Blizzard, Coderus (MacDX), Feral etc, etc. The same is true for the people we work with at Apple. We've also spent some time back at the hotel room working with developers on fixing some bugs. And then there are the sessions: we've been going to all the graphics sessions, partly to check that the demos are running well on our hardware :-) Finally, on Friday we're demo'ing and presenting on our "Sushi 2.0" demos in the "Cutting Edge Graphics" session.
