AMD unveils desktop processor roadmap
Consumers and businesses alike are requesting smaller, more elegant PCs that aesthetically complement home and office environments, yet deliver the same performance as larger systems, AMD says.
Energy-efficient AMD Athlon 64 X2 dual-core, AMD Athlon 64 and AMD Sempron processors, based on the upcoming socket AM2, are designed to provide for new freedoms in PC form factor design by offering performance-per-watt advantages over standard processors for commercial and consumer markets, the company says.
Energy–efficient computing is a crucial step for the computing industry as large businesses seek to reduce operating costs, AMD adds.
“AMD is challenging the status quo for commercial clients,” says Gaith Kadir, AMD GM, Middle East and Africa.
“Customers are demanding a renewed focus on energy efficiency, and AMD is responding by delivering energy-efficient desktop processors that can help OEMs innovate and deliver small, sleek PC designs that enable businesses and consumers to save energy.”
Energy-efficient AMD desktop processors can deliver greater performance-per-watt over standard power AMD desktop processors and can reduce overall power consumption, he adds.
For instance, energy-efficient AMD desktop processors can provide up to 37% greater performance-per-watt than standard power AMD processors, while energy-efficient small form factor AMD Athlon 64 X2 dual-core desktop processors can provide up to 154% greater performance-per-watt than standard power AMD desktop processors, he claims.
