AMD ‘unveils forward-looking technology’
AMD says that it has collaborated with integrated circuit (IC) companies to develop the Socket G3 Memory Extender (G3MX) technology, which is planned for the AMD Opteron processor platform infrastructure ecosystem in 2009.
This platform-level technology is designed to extend the total memory footprint in future AMD Opteron processor-based systems and, therefore, to enable increased performance in customers’ enterprise-class servers, such as those used for databases and emerging technologies like virtualisation and multi-core computing.
Supporting the DDR3 memory specification from JEDEC1, G3MX technology is being developed in collaboration with IDT and Inphi, who are planning to sell G3MX components as part of their power- and cost-effective device portfolios supporting the memory industry.
“AMD’s competitive edge lies with responding to our customers’ requirements now and in the future,” says Imi Mosaheb, country manager, AMD.
“As we look ahead to pervasive quad-core and octal-core server computing, AMD is committed to delivering the flexibility and choice which our customers desire to successfully deploy virtualisation and multi-core environments.”
