AMD Alchemy Solutions development board kits enable rapid design, testing.AMD (Advanced Micro Devices, Inc., Sunnyvale, CA, www.amd.com) A major manufacturer of semiconductor devices including x86-compatible CPUs, embedded processors, flash memories, programmable logic devices and networking chips. (NYSE NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange :AMD) has announced the new AMD Alchemy alchemy (ăl`kəmē), ancient art of obscure origin that sought to transform base metals (e.g., lead) into silver and gold; forerunner of the science of chemistry. Solutions DBAu1000, DBAu1500 and DBAu1100 development board kits for its AMD Alchemy Solutions processor family. These new development board kits will assist customers in product development and in reducing time to market. "These development board kits provide customers with the tools they need to develop and test their solutions--both hardware and software components--in a cost-effective, efficient and thorough manner," said Phil Pompa, AMD's vice president of marketing for Personal Connectivity Solutions. "Not only will our new development board kits help shorten the customers' time to market and reduce development costs, they will enable the development of products that are rich in features, small in form and with long battery life," Pompa continued. "These board kits enable designers to fully embrace the functionality and industry-leading performance and low power consumption offered by our AMD Alchemy Solutions Au1000, Au1500 and Au1100 processors." The AMD Alchemy Solutions development board kits are integrated hardware and software systems that leverage the high performance, low power AMD Alchemy Solutions Au1000, Au1500, and Au1100 processors. These MIPS (Million Instructions Per Second) The execution speed of a computer. For example, .5 MIPS is 500,000 instructions per second; 100 MIPS is a hundred million instructions per second. technology-based, highly integrated system-on-a-chip (SOC) processors offer as much as 400 MHz (MegaHertZ) One million cycles per second. It is used to measure the transmission speed of electronic devices, including channels, buses and the computer's internal clock. A one-megahertz clock (1 MHz) means some number of bits (16, 32, 64, etc. at 250 milliwatts--and are ideally suited for a broad variety of non-PC Internet appliance Also called "information appliance," "smart appliance," and "Web appliance," it is a device specialized for accessing the Web and/or e-mail. Designed for ease of use, it plugs into a telephone jack or LAN connection for Internet hookup. applications. Such devices include automotive navigation/entertainment systems, computing devices such as web tablets and PDAs, home and small office networking and access devices such as gateways, routers and firewalls, and gaming devices. The development board kits are turnkey solutions that integrate processors, memory and peripherals onto a single board, along with debugging (programming) debugging - The process of attempting to determine the cause of the symptoms of malfunctions in a program or other system. These symptoms may be detected during testing or use by real users. assist features and software. These board kits allow developers to test the Au processor family in a variety of demanding applications. |
