Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) | Lineups

Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) builds graphics processors for use in embedded systems.

They can be found in anything from casinos to healthcare, with a large portion of products being used in industrial machines.

These products include a complete graphics processing device in a compact multi-chip module including RAM and the GPU.

In fact, AMD is the second-largest supplier and only significant rival to Intel in the market for x86-based microprocessors.

Since acquiring ATI in 2006, AMD and its competitor Nvidia have maintained a duopoly in the discrete graphics processing unit (GPU) market.

The AMD Sempron processor is designed to meet the needs of home and business PC users.

Also, AMD Sempron processors are 32-bit and offer capabilities that include HyperTransport technology,

up to 512K total high-performance cache, advanced 333Mhz frontside bus, and an integrated DDR memory controller.

The AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual-Core processor contains two processing cores, residing on one chip,

which increases efficiency and speed while running multiple programs and multi-threaded software.

It also enables a seamless transition from 32-bit to 64-bit applications.

Both 32- and 64-bit applications can run virtually simultaneously and transparently on the same platform.

AMD64 provides full support for x86 codebase for 32-bit computing and is ready for 64-bit applications.

AMD64 technology doubles the number of processor registers and increases the system memory addressability.

The AMD Opteron processor offers simultaneous 32- and 64-bit computing, using AMD’s Direct Connect Architecture.

It’s design to run existing 32-bit applications and offer simplified migration path to 64-bit computing.

In fact, the AMD Opteron processor is available in 1 to 8-way servers and 1 to 4-way workstation solutions.
