Microsoft and AMD Collaborate on 64-bit Computing Solutions
Built for blazing speed in close collaboration with AMD, Microsoft® Windows® XP Professional x64 Edition and Microsoft Windows Server™ 2003 x64 Editions paired with AMD64 processors open the road for high-speed applications, without sacrificing features, stability, or security.
In 1999, AMD introduced the AMD64 instruction set, laying the groundwork for its first 64-bit processors. Today, Microsoft and AMD have collaborated to bring 64-bit computing to the x86 PC industry, delivering a platform that is flexible, scalable, and powerful. The road to a 64-bit solution begins with Microsoft and AMD.
Windows x64 operating systems and AMD64 processors give you the flexibility you need to deliver solutions:
- Windows x64 operating systems leverage key AMD technologies, including Direct Connect Architecture, 64-bit technology, and dual-core processors
- Complete compatibility with both 32-bit and 64-bit Windows
- The flexibility to migrate to 64-bit applications based on customer needs
Windows x64 operating systems and AMD64 processors deliver leading-edge platform features and performance:
- The ability to address large memory spaces beyond the 32-bit, 4-GB limit
- Enhanced Virus Protection built into Windows x64 operating systems and AMD64 processors
- 64-bit performance for leading-edge and high-performance applications
Bill Gates announced the launch of Windows XP Professional x64 Edition and Windows Server 2003 x64 Editions at Microsoft WinHec 2005. See how Microsoft Windows 64-bit operating systems, developed in close collaboration with AMD, can benefit those pushing the limits of 32-bit.
