Here's what they are saying
Smart, customer-focused solutions like the AMD64 platform are the reason we chose to collaborate with AMD to build server clusters and other systems at the AMD Developer Center. Working together, we can deliver the innovations that all of our customers want and need.
- -Steve Lyness, Vice President of Worldwide Support, InfiniCon Systems
The AMD Opteron processor made possible native, simultaneous32- and 64-bit computing on conventional systems, paving the way for new HPC and high-end enterprise applications. We’re delighted to offer a 64-bit version of WinDriver Linux for the AMD Opteron processor, a solution that will enable quick development of drivers and applications such as ClearSpeed optimized for the AMD64 platform.
- -Omry Ben David, sales and marketing manager, software tools division, Jungo Software Technologies, Inc.
AMD’s powerful Dual-Core AMD Opteron processor technology and Kingston memory offer a dynamic duo in computing performance. Kingston quality memory optimizes the revolutionary AMD64 platform.
- -Mark Tekunoff, Senior Technology Manager, Kingston Technology Corporation
Linux Networx customers require the most advanced technology that is available in the industry, and we believe that the Dual-Core AMD Opteron processors will provide a substantial price/performance improvement for a variety of key applications. We have deployed thousands of AMD Opterton processors in our Linux cluster systems with great success, and the advancement of this new technology will allow our customers to receive greater power management and efficiency in achieving their computational goals.
- -Eric Pitcher, Vice President of Technical Marketing, Linux Networx, Inc.
M&A Technology, in collaboration with AMD, intends to unleash the power of the Dual-Core AMD Opteron processor. We are combining the AMD processor’s performance with our Linux clustering expertise to create a world-class enterprise solution with engineered stability and performance.
- -Val Overbey, Chief Technology Officer, M&A Technology
Mandriva is thrilled to be able to offer breakthrough dual-core compatibility to our customers. On Mandriva Linux, Dual-Core AMD Opteron processors can offer a tremendous performance boost, for which we do not plan to charge customers anything extra. We congratulate AMD on this landmark product launch, and look forward to supporting AMD's future innovations.
- -Frederic Lepied, CTO, Mandriva (formerly Mandrakesoft)
The launch of Dual-Core AMD Opteron processors completely aligns with Mellanox's InfiniBand interconnect performance roadmap. As InfiniBand transitions from 10Gb/s to 20Gb/s, I/O, computing and memory performance remain optimally balanced for clustered computing and storage applications that demand world-class performance.
- -Eyal Waldman, CEO and Chairman, Mellanox Technologies, Inc.
Customers want to be able to take advantage of innovative technologies, such as AMD64-based systems and dual-core processors, in a cost-effective manner. Working with partners such as AMD, Microsoft consistently delivers to the Windows® platform customers the best price/performance in the industry. Based on industry benchmarks, the Windows platform has delivered a 200x performance improvement at 1/17 the cost during the past seven years. The combination of Windows Server 2003 x64 Editions and AMD64 multi-core processors will continue to drive even better performance, giving customers the ability to get more value out of their 32-bit and 64-bit applications.
- -Bob Kelly, General Manager of Windows Server Group, Microsoft Corporation
The increased power and memory capacity of AMD Opteron processors provides a compelling hardware platform for MicroStrategy. Running on 64-bit Linux or Microsoft Windows operating systems, AMD64 technology provides greater than 4 gigabyte memory addressing capabilities to handle and manipulate large data sets and report caches. The increased addressable memory improves system performance and allows customers to configure their business intelligence systems in ways that are simply not possible with 32-bit only architectures.
- -Jeff Bedell, CTO, MicroStrategy, Inc.
The latest AMD innovation, putting a second core on the die, enables programs that are not memory bound to take full advantage of the additional processing power. Applications that can dramatically improve in speed include floating-point-intensive computations, like FFTs, which have high data re-use rates; SMP applications that make frequent calls, including transaction-based business applications; and programs that depend on byte code interpreters like JAVA to carry the work load. The Dual-Core AMD Opteron processor will change the face of high-performance computing.
- -Stephen Fried, President and CTO, Microway, Inc.
