AMD Helping Unite Power of Open Source and Multi-Core
As part of its commitment to supporting and contributing to open standards, AMD (NYSE:AMD) today announced its participation in the Eclipse Foundation. AMD will add its rich expertise and history of collaborative innovation to the Eclipse community, helping to drive the standardization of an extensible development platform and application frameworks that can harness the power of x86 architectures and multi-core processing. AMD made the announcement in conjunction with Eclipse Summit Europe 2007, taking place Oct. 9 – 11 in Ludwigsburg, Germany.
Recently introduced, native Quad-Core AMD Opteron(TM) processors continue AMD’s tradition of reducing the total cost of ownership for the enterprise and enabling solutions that meet customer needs. By achieving four x86 processing cores on a single die of silicon in a consistent thermal envelope, AMD has significantly advanced the performance capabilities of AMD Opteron processors, while providing customers with increased energy-efficiency capabilities. Micro-architectural enhancements in AMD’s native quad-core design, designed in collaboration with ecosystem partners, also enable performance advancements for software applications such as virtualization.
