AMD64 Technology Wins Best Of Show At 2004 Teched
Windows & .NET Magazine name AMD64 Platform
Overall Best of TechEd
SUNNYVALE, CALIF. -- 2004 년 6 월 1 일 --AMD (NYSE: AMD) announced today that the AMD64 platform was named Overall Best of TechEd 2004 by Windows & .NET Magazine and SQL Server Magazine.
Since its introduction with the launch of the AMD Opteron™ processor in April 2003, more than 1,000 software and hardware developers, OEMs, systems builders and end users have recognized the benefits of AMD64 technology —an industry-standard approach to 64-bit computing that is designed to deliver simultaneous 32-bit and 64-bit performance.
“To be chosen overall winner in a field of more than 260 very competitive entries is a great achievement,” said Marty Seyer, vice president and general manager of the AMD Microprocessor Business Unit. “It further underscores the value of customer-centric innovation: competitive, strategic solutions that are valued by our customers and their end-users. AMD64 technology with Direct Connect Architecture makes 32-bit-only system offerings potentially obsolete while supplying benefits and system advantages well beyond extending the instruction set.”
“Simply put, the AMD64 platform, with Direct Connect Architecture and a simultaneous 32- and 64-bit computing environment, redefines the way people think about the future of x86 computing,” said Mike Otey, senior technical editor for Windows & .NET Magazine. “Like all the Best of TechEd winners, AMD is a market leader that provides the most competitive advantage and value to the consumer.”
