AMD Continues to Give Embedded Designers More Choice With Addition of Two Mobile Processors to AMD64 Longevity Program

- Designers in gaming, medical, transportation and other industries can benefit from addition of the AMD Turion 64 X2 dual-core mobile technology and the Mobile AMD Sempron processor to AMD's embedded portfolio -

SUNNYVALE, Calif. - Jan. 24, 2007 - AMD (NYSE: AMD) today announced that its AMD64 Longevity Program for embedded solutions, which provides processor availability for five years, has expanded to include two additional low-power processors based on AMD's successful mobile products. The addition of the Mobile AMD Sempron processor model 3500 and the AMD Turion 64 X2 dual-core mobile technology Model TL-52 to the AMD64 Longevity Program means embedded designers will have more options to innovate at the system-level, and the opportunity to deliver leading edge performance with low cost of ownership to their customers.

"AMD is addressing the needs of embedded designers by making more of our products available for those who require longer than standard component availability," said Greg White, vice president, Embedded Product Division, AMD. "Our goal is to empower our embedded customers to create differentiated solutions on a solid, consistent architecture-and by expanding longevity options we are doing just that. This is the first in a series of steps AMD expects to take to broaden its embedded product offerings and support throughout 2007." READ MORE...

Marco's interest in computing and technology dates all the way back to his early childhood. Even before being exposed to the Commodore P.E.T. and later the Commodore 64 in the early ‘80s, he was interested in electricity and electronics, and he still has the modded AFX cars and shop-worn soldering irons to prove it. Once he got his hands on his own Commodore 64, however, computing became Marco's passion. Throughout his academic and professional lives, Marco has worked with virtually every major platform from the TRS-80 and Amiga, to today's high end, multi-core servers. Over the years, he has worked in many fields related to technology and computing, including system design, assembly and sales, professional quality assurance testing, and technical writing. In addition to being the Managing Editor here at HotHardware for close to 15 years, Marco is also a freelance writer whose work has been published in a number of PC and technology related print publications and he is a regular fixture on HotHardware’s own Two and a Half Geeks webcast. - Contact: marco(at)hothardware(dot)com
