AMD Geode(TM) LX Processor Continues to Demonstrate Industry Leadership With Strong Customer Demand; AMD Embedded Solutions Drive Product Innovation With Performance, Flexibility.SUNNYVALE, Calif. -- One year after its introduction to the market, the 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. Geode(TM) LX processor family continues to build momentum and industry demand. AMD (NYSE NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange :AMD) launched low-power, high-performance AMD Geode LX processors at Computex 2005 to offer developers a smart choice for unique, full-featured devices, enabling extended functionality, small form factors and long battery life. The processor's versatile, industry-standard x86 architecture allows developers to bring highly integrated solutions to market, meeting diverse needs. Today, AMD's embedded x86 solutions are being used to address specialized needs within a variety of industries, including corporate thin clients, ultramobile and tablet computing devices, set-top boxes, storage appliances, and single board computer (SBC (1) (SBC Communications Inc., San Antonio, TX, www.sbc.com) A large, national telecommunications company that grew from a multitude of local and regional companies, including Southwestern Bell, Pacific Bell and Nevada Bell, into a single, unified brand by 2002. ) applications such as industrial automation equipment, information and medical appliances, point-of-sale terminals and kiosks, and communications infrastructure. The AMD Geode LX processor family offers the low power and high performance that design engineers need to create a broad range of small form factor solutions that take advantage of the extensive x86 software base. "AMD Geode LX processors help our customers offer choice, value and differentiated solutions to meet critical needs within the commercial and consumer markets they serve," said Greg White, vice president of AMD's Embedded Computing Solutions Division. "We are seeing diverse applications ranging from hosted thin clients to ultramobile PCs, thanks to the flexibility and functionality of our x86 technology." The AMD Geode LX 800@0.9W(a) processor offers the highest performance per watt solution available today in the 32-bit x86 industry, while supporting increased memory bandwidth through a DDR (Double Data Rate) Refers to an SDRAM memory chip that increases performance by doubling the effective data rate of the frontside bus. For more details, see SDRAM. DDR - Double Data Rate Random Access Memory interface and enhanced I/O (Input/Output) The transfer of data between the CPU and a peripheral device. Every transfer is an output from one device and an input to another. See PC input/output. I/O - Input/Output throughput with USB USB in full Universal Serial Bus Type of serial bus that allows peripheral devices (disks, modems, printers, digitizers, data gloves, etc.) to be easily connected to a computer. 2.0. These features allow engineers to design innovative products optimized with long battery life, compact and fanless form factors, enhanced mobility and the high performance that customers expect from AMD technology. With the ability to support Windows XP, XP Embedded and Linux operating systems, this processor family also provides simplified programming and a familiar user environment for consumers' convenience. "Incorporating the AMD Geode LX processor into the Lippert Hurricane-LX800 EPIC SBC was a simple decision given the combined benefits of low power consumption and outstanding performance," said Peter Lippert, CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. , LiPPERT Embedded Computers. "The platform is extremely simple to work with and we were able to bring our latest SBC module to market quickly and easily."
