AMD announced the next step in the evolution of its embedded business—including the addition of Second-Generation AMD Opteron processors and AMD Athlon 64 X2 dual-core processors to the AMD64 Longevity Program, plus the release of the new AMD Geode LX900@1.5W processor. AMD is also offering new reference design kits (RDKs).
Greg White, vice president, embedded computing solutions division, AMD, said, "Today we are significantly expanding our embedded market support. We believe that only AMD can offer embedded designers scalable and powerful, yet energy- and cost-efficient, products and solutions that leverage the most flexible x86 platforms available. Our customer-centric approach to innovation means we offer solutions that not only meet, but also exceed design requirements and performance expectations."
AMD is growing its offerings for high-end embedded markets. The AMD64 Longevity Program makes select AMD64 technology available for a longer-than-standard timeframe and now includes Second-Generation AMD Opteron processors and the AMD Athlon 64 X2 dual-core and AMD Athlon 64 processors. These processors are for high-end storage and telecommunications embedded designs, as well as more traditional embedded markets such as security, medical imaging, military systems, single board computing, point-of-sale solutions and gaming. This is in addition to the Mobile AMD Sempron processor Model 3500+ and the AMD Turion 64 X2 dual-core mobile technology Model TL-52.
