AMD Opteron™ processor launch
New York
April 22, 2003
Key Quote
"The one thing that binds us together is the idea that computing needs will continue
to grow more complex and more demanding. They will agreee that the only way to
meet that need is through 64-bit computing. With our introduction of the AMD Opteron
processor, we offer all these companies a way to realize their vision, as they
maintain control over their precious and substantial investments in existing software
applications and hardware. By opening the door between 32-bit and 64-bit computing,
we promise customers and partners that we will simplify the business."

Key Quote
“How do we make the transition from 32-bit to 64-bit seamless? How do we make it so that it’s compelling? How do we make it so that it actually costs zero dollars to be able to make that transition? To be able to do it in such a way that the whole ecosystem - such as the operating system providers, the application system providers, the system integrators, the middleware providers - is run at 64-bit technology, that all these people can make that transition in a rather seamless fashion? That is what needs to occur.
And if somebody could do that, think how compelling that would be, how sophisticated that transition could be, how elegant, how wonderful. AMD would like to call that transition AMD Opteron™ and AMD Athlon™ 64 [processors]. We believe that this will be a very interesting year.”

Key Quote
“At AMD, we long ago made a strategic decision to use compatibility and open standards as a design objective because we see the best path to the future grounded in the best of the past. We believe in preserving our customers’ data from platform to platform and application to application.
That is why AMD’s next generation processor architecture is the only one that is both fully compatible with today’s 32-bit systems and completely 64-bit capable when you have the performance needs to fully upgrade. We’ve simplified your transition to 64-bit Linux environment through native high-performance support for simultaneous 32- and 64-bit applications. The 32-bit capabilities of our forthcoming 64-bit processors are already supported by numerous 32-bit Linux distributions.”

"Let's Get Real"
Las Vegas, Nevada
November 19, 2002
Key Quote
“Given the current economic climate— it’s time to do a bit of reset. Around the customer. Adopt a policy that says, “no new technology without real customer input or without real customer demand.” At AMD, we call this “customer-centric innovation,” and it is driving everything that we do at the company these days. Just recently, we announced an upcoming microprocessor we call the AMD Opteron™ processor. It is based on a rather innovative new architecture – one that gives you both 32-bit compatibility and 64-bit capability in the same processor. Remarkably, on this tiny, thumbnail-sized device there are 100 million transistors.”

Q&A with Hector Ruiz
November 2002
Key Quote
"The biggest competitive advantage of our next generation processors is flexibility. Corporate and home users need the ability to migrate from 32-bit computing to 64-bit computing at their own pace, without having to sacrifice performance. The current computing world is pretty much dominated by 32-bit computers. We believe that 64-bit computing is going to be relevant a lot sooner than people might think, primarily because AMD has created a product that allows for a painless transition from 32- to 64-bit computing.”
