Putting It Together: AMD and Compatibility

Introduction: AMD’s Commitment to Quality
In support of the broad goal of overall product quality, AMD puts a great deal of time and energy into analyzing the compatibility of its products. Compatibility is an extremely complex issue in the microprocessor industry. Testing each processor model on every combination of application software, operating system, and system configuration is a relative impossibility. In order to serve best the needs of its customers and partners, AMD focuses great attention at the very first stages of the development process. The earlier a compatibility issue can be identified the better for everyone involved. AMD engineers are constantly developing newer, better, and more rigorous tests for products to help ensure that by the time an AMD processor-based system reaches the end user, it is compatible with industry x86 standards and ready to go.
