Here's what they are saying
What AMD has done with the Dual-Core AMD Opteron processor is incredible. Not only can we now offer 4P/8-core systems in a 2U form factor, but we can also offer many of our existing Empro customers an easy upgrade path to double the number of CPU cores in their existing systems.
- -Trey Harris, Founder, Monarch Computer
The AMD Opteron™ processor Model 252 is the highest performing CPU available for a two-way processor x86 system. In addition to its outstanding speed, the new AMD Opteron processor Model 252 with Direct Connect Architecture is packed full of features that also make it the most technologically advanced CPU available. Direct Connect Architecture eliminates the front-side bus and memory bottlenecks, and AMD PowerNow!™ technology helps make sure the full power of your system is available when you need it and not wasted when you don't. This combination of speed and technology make the AMD Opteron processor the best CPU available for a dual-CPU workstation or server.
- -Jason Valdes, Product Manager, Monarch Computer Systems
AMD Opteron processors combined with MSC.Software CAE products let our customers continue to reduce the time and costs associated with manufacturing complex mechanical products. We look forward to supporting AMD's dual-core processors and jointly delivering compelling engineering solutions to our customers around the world.
- -Kevin Kilroy, Director of Infrastructure, MSC.Software Corporation
AMD is setting the pace in designing processors for high-performance computing, which in turn enables us to deliver products with exceptional sustained performance to our customers. Along with AMD, MSI is bringing dual-core capabilities into servers & workstations first and then will follow with desktop and mobile since that makes the most sense for the market’s needs.
- -Norman Tsai, Vice President, MSI
The launch of the AMD Opteron processor two years ago marked a key milestone of 64-bit architecture adoption for cluster computing. The price-performance and architectural advantages of the AMD Opteron processor has enabled customers to build high-performance clusters at extreme scale, including a cluster benchmarked as one of the Top 10 fastest supercomputers in the world. Myricom continues to collaborate with AMD in ensuring that Myrinet cluster interconnect is optimized for AMD64, including the new Dual-Core AMD Opteron processor.
- -Dr. Nan Boden, Executive Vice President, Myricom, Inc.
NAG is delighted to be part of the industry revolution that has been, and is being driven by AMD64 technology. AMD’s success clearly stems from its willingness to listen to its customers and take the bold steps necessary to meet those needs.
- -Rob Meyer, CEO, NAG
We are very enthusiastic about bringing the performance that these new hardware technology advancements offer to our customers. We have placed a high priority on making sure that LightWave takes full advantage of the latest technology. We understand our customers need the maximum level of computing power available - that’s why we’ve made the effort to support multi-core and 64-bit technology right out of the gate. It is our belief that the release of these new technologies will significantly benefit LightWave users.
- -Andrew Cross, Senior Vice President of Engineering, NewTek
As the industry moves to pervasive, mainstream x86-based 64-bit computing, NVIDIA fully supports AMD's evolutionary approach and dual-core leadership with our NVIDIA nForce4 product line. The combination of NVIDIA nForce and AMD Opteron processors provides stunning performance for our customers, especially those in the CAD and DCC industries who require a lightning-fast graphics response. We look forward to continuing our close collaboration with AMD as both 64-bit and dual-core technologies become essential for our customers.
- -Drew Henry, General Manager of MCP Business, NVIDIA Corporation
To date, the AMD Opteron processor 200 Series has been a successful product for our graphic render nodes and editing workstations. Our film post-production clients have heavy demands for 3D processing and the simplicity of upgrading from their existing AMD Opteron processors to dual-core is fool-proof. The cost-savings for our clients are clear when you can increase performance, reduce heat, have simultaneous 32-bit and 64-bit computing, and above all maintain backward compatibility to their existing hardware and software.
- -Ivan Secoquian, Co-founder and Vice President, Open Source Storage, Inc.
Many of our film post-production clients are requesting more computing power with reduced power consumption and cooling costs. AMD Opteron™ processors 200 and 800 Series, have always been our first recommendation. We can provide a powerful two-processor and four-processor AMD Opteron processor-based solution, reduce their post-purchase expenses and provide an upgrade path to the dual core 90 nm AMD Opteron processors due out in mid-2005.
- -Ivan Secoquian, Co-founder and Vice President, Open Source Storage, Inc.
