AMD Unveils Forward-Looking Technology Innovation

By

Responding to customer and industry demand for increasingly improved system memory capabilities and choice, AMD today announced it collaborated with leading integrated circuit (IC) companies to develop the Socket G3 Memory Extender (G3MX) technology, which is planned for the AMD Opteron processor platform infrastructure ecosystem in 2009. This innovative platform-level technology is designed to extend the total memory footprint in future AMD Opteron processor-based systems and, therefore, enable increased performance to customers enterprise-class servers, such as those used for databases and emerging technologies like virtualization and multi-core computing.

AMDs competitive edge lies with responding to our customers requirements now and in the future, said Randy Allen, corporate vice president, Server/Workstation Division, AMD. As we look ahead to pervasive quad-core and octal-core server computing, AMD is committed to delivering the flexibility and choice our customers desire to successfully deploy virtualization and multi-core environments. True to our collaborative nature, we worked closely with memory technology experts to develop G3MX, as an easy, cost-effective way for customers to attain faster access to memory or additional memory to enable increased performance for complex and emerging applications and environments.
