I've always heard it said with two.

As for ATE, I've never had any reason yet to say it out loud, or hear someone say. But in my head, I think A-T-E. I guess if its German, it could be a two syllable word, but with all caps in the name, its natural for me to spell it out loud. Of course, I don't call a certain German car a Aye You Dee Eye so I could be wrong. Then again, I call another German car a Bee Mmmm Double You.
