AMD GAINS MAJOR ENTERPRISE DESIGN WIN WITH MAXDATA -- GERMAN OEM TO OFFER AMD PROCESSOR-BASED COMPUTERS.Germany's third largest computer manufacturer MAXDATA plans to carry both 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. Athlon and AMD Duron processors in systems targeting enterprise and small business users in Germany. With this design win, another important European OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) The rebranding of equipment and selling it. The term initially referred to the company that made the products (the "original" manufacturer), but eventually became widely used to refer to the organization that buys the products and that services the enterprise market has chosen AMD processors. "This is truly a significant win for AMD, because it demonstrates confidence in AMD technology for use in business enterprises. I am very happy that MAXDATA is joining the growing ranks of our commercial partners in Europe," said Giuliano Meroni, vice president, Sales and Marketing Europe. "IT managers are looking for Looking for In the context of general equities, this describing a buy interest in which a dealer is asked to offer stock, often involving a capital commitment. Antithesis of in touch with. stable and compatible platforms. AMD microprocessor technology and the Socket A The motherboard receptacle for Duron and newer Athlon CPU chips from AMD. It uses a 462-pin PGA package. See Slot A. platform provides excellent stability and compatibility while offering outstanding processor performance. AMD continues to work on penetrating this important segment of the market, not only in Europe but also in other regions of the world. When it comes to meeting the needs of enterprise, AMD means business." MAXDATA is one of Germany's most successful manufacturers of business PCs with thousands of resellers covering the office computing needs for top 500 German companies. "MAXDATA's longstanding experience and its highly qualified customer base among large and mid-size companies provides AMD with an another opportunity to enter the commercial market," said Jochen Polster, managing director of AMD Germany. "We want to build on our success with the AMD Athlon and AMD Duron processors. We believe that the cooperation between MAXDATA and AMD will be an important factor in expanding AMD's penetration into the enterprise market." "We are convinced that the PC systems equipped with AMD processors are a great addition to our product portfolio, and that they will open completely new markets to us," said Joachim Gut, member of the managing board of MAXDATA. "AMD Athlon and AMD Duron processors offer an excellent price-performance-ratio that we will pass on to our customers. With AMD processors, we'll continue to offer our partners and customers the hand-tailored solutions that they expect from us." PCs are expected to be available in January from MAXDATA's Build-to-Order program, and in their complete system lines of high-reliability network PCs for business applications as well as PCs for home use. AMD is a global supplier of integrated circuits Integrated circuits Miniature electronic circuits produced within and upon a single semiconductor crystal, usually silicon. Integrated circuits range in complexity from simple logic circuits and amplifiers, about 1/20 in.

AMD produces microprocessors, flash memory devices, and support circuitry for communications and networking applications. Founded in 1969 and based in Sunnyvale, Calif., AMD had revenues of $2.9 billion in 1999. (NYSE NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange :AMD). The AMD Athlon processor is an x86-compatible, seventh-generation design featuring a superpipelined, nine-issue superscalar A CPU architecture that allows more than one instruction to be executed in one clock cycle. See pipeline processing. (architecture) superscalar - A superscalar architecture is a uniprocessor that can execute two or more scalar operations in parallel. microarchitecture optimized for high clock frequency; the industry's first fully pipelined, superscalar floating point unit for x86 platforms; high-performance cache architecture, now featuring 256KB of on-chip level (L2) cache and 128KB of on-chip level (L1) cache; enhanced 3DNow! technology with 24 additional instructions A charge given to a jury by a judge after the original instructions to explain the law and guide the jury in its decision making. Additional instructions are frequently needed after the jury has begun deliberations and finds that it has a question concerning the evidence, a designed to improve integer math calculations, data movement for Internet streaming, and DSP (1) (Digital Signal Processor) A special-purpose CPU used for digital signal processing applications (see definition #2 below). It provides ultra-fast instruction sequences, such as shift and add, and multiply and add, which are commonly used in math-intensive communications; and a 200MHz (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. system interface based on the Alpha EV6 bus protocol with support for scalable multiprocessing. AMD Athlon processors are manufactured using AMD's aluminum 0.18-micron process technology in Fab 25 in Austin, Texas and AMD's 0.18 micron copper technology in Fab 30 in Dresden, Germany. The AMD Duron processor is a derivative of the award-winning AMD Athlon processor and is designed to provide an optimized solution for value conscious business and home users. Employing an innovative design, the AMD Duron processor features a sophisticated cache architecture with 192KB of total on-chip cache; a high-speed 200MHz front-side bus, and a superscalar floating point unit with enhanced 3DNow!technology. The AMD Duron processor offers value conscious buyers access to technology and performance that stands out among other processors in its class. It reflects AMD's 30 years of design and manufacturing expertise and sales of more than 125 million PC processors. AMD Duron processors are manufactured on AMD's 0.18 micron process technology in Fab 25, Austin, Texas. |
