AMD’s Case for Fair and Open Competition


Celebrating the Three-Year Anniversary of the AMD Opteron™ Processor




  In just three years, the AMD Opteron™ processor has led the way in providing industry-leading solutions, helping power more than 90 percent of the top 100 global companies.
 

The AMD Opteron processor is the processor of “firsts.” In 2003, it was the first solution to extend the industry-standard x86 instruction set architecture to 64-bit computing. And in 2005, the Dual-Core AMD Opteron processor became the world’s first x86-based multi-core processor.

And it’s not just the “firsts” that matter — it’s also the “bests.” Leading OEMs Cray, Egenera, Fujitsu-Siemens, HP, IBM, Rackable Systems, and Sun chose to build major product lines based on the AMD Opteron processor family. Customers like Chevron, Microsoft, Sabre, and the Weather Channel endorsed AMD’s breakthrough technologies for the way they help transform business processes, solve business problems, and realize business goals.

It’s time to celebrate, but it’s never time to rest. We continue to focus on meeting core enterprise needs, such as improved consolidation and management of data center resources by driving technology innovations in emerging areas like virtualization, power management, and security.

We aim to transform the semiconductor industry and enterprise computing by continuing to develop innovative, elegant technology designed to meet our customers’ needs.
