The Global Networking and Communication market continues to grow and evolve as more people become connected for business and personal collaborative endeavors. The key technology drivers have to adapt to an end-to-end connectivity usage model that is multi-mode, multi-channel and in real time. These communication pipelines must also provide secure and reliable links, as well as be scalable/flexible enough to accommodate emerging standards, services and upgrades. Such demands challenge system providers to compete to improve raw performance while maintaining the same cost and power budgets.
AMD offers a broad selection of processor and chipset platform solutions. Whether the end application is a secure networking appliance or a high-end switch/router, there is an AMD processor and chipset that addresses the need for outstanding performance per watt, reliability, scalability and an upgrade path. For a small office/home office-based networking device, the low power AMD Embedded G-Series processor excels in performance per watt, with product TDP ranging from 5 to 18 watts. For a networking/security appliance, the AMD Turion™ II Neo and AMD Athlon™ II Neo ASB2 (BGA package) plus AMD SR56x0/SP5100 chipset offers high performance, amazing power and cost efficiency, while supporting the needs of increased connectivity. The AMD Opteron™ 4100 Series server-class processors deliver glueless multi-processing for high-end enterprise environments while providing power efficiency, reliability and scalability.
