AMD Announces DTX and New Energy-Efficient Processors
Further advancing the availability of energy-efficient platforms, at Computex today AMD announced the finalization of the DTX specification, an open standard initiated by AMD to enable the development of small form factor PCs. AMD also introduced new 45-watt energy-efficient processors based on 65nm technology, the AMD Athlon X2 dual-core processor BE-2350 and the AMD Athlon X2 dual-core processor BE-2300. These innovations help AMD deliver on its commitment to lead the world to energy efficient processing by empowering OEMs and system builders to deliver smaller, quieter computing solutions for the home or office desktop, as well as other locations throughout home.
The introduction of 45-watt AMD Athlon X2 processors is the latest effort by AMD to deliver energy-efficient platform solutions with technologies such as AMD CoolnQuiet technology. In March 2005, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) awarded CoolnQuiet technology special recognition for advancing energy-efficient computer technologies. AMD expects that systems built using energy-efficient AMD desktop processors can meet, and in many instances exceed, the new system requirements from the EPAs ENERGY STAR Version 4 computer specification, effective July 20, 2007.
