AMD Opteron processors power new high-end workstation from Fujitsu Siemens Computers.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 that Fujitsu Siemens Computers Fujitsu Siemens Computers is a Japanese and German IT vendor, selling consumer and business computing products in the markets of Europe, the Middle East and Africa (products marketed elsewhere are sold under the Fujitsu brand). is offering the CELSIUS V810 high-end workstation based on the AMD Opteron processor 200 Series. The new workstation is targeted at customers who use compute-intensive applications such as digital content creation The development of newsworthy, educational and entertainment material for distribution over the Internet or other electronic media. See DAMS. (DCC (1) (Direct Cable Connection) A Windows 95/98 feature that allows PCs to be cabled together for data transfer. DCC actually sets up a network connection between the two machines. ), computer-aided design computer-aided design (CAD) or computer-aided design and drafting (CADD), form of automation that helps designers prepare drawings, specifications, parts lists, and other design-related elements using special graphics- and calculations-intensive (CAD), computer-aided engineering (CAE (1) (Computer-Aided Engineering) Software that analyzes designs which have been created in the computer or that have been created elsewhere and entered into the computer. ), and scientific and visualization software. Workstations based on the AMD Opteron processor allow end users to run their existing 32-bit applications and provide an easy upgrade path to 64-bit computing when needed. "We worked closely with Fujitsu Siemens Computers, one of Europe's premier OEMs, to provide an AMD Opteron processor-based high-performance graphical workstation ideally suited for Europe's scientists, engineers and digital content creators," said Marty Seyer, vice president and general manager, Microprocessor Business Unit, AMD. "The market strength and expertise of Fujitsu Siemens Computers in that area combined with the computing power and scalability of the AMD Opteron processor provides users of demanding workstation applications with unprecedented possibilities." Users of high-end graphical workstation applications are continuously looking for more computing power to get their job done in less time. They are looking for more addressable memory to edit and move huge data models in real time. The AMD Opteron processor can deliver the computing power and the large memory address space that is needed to move to the next level in professional workstation applications. "Many of our customers were bound within the limits of 32-bit computing. By choosing the AMD Opteron processor for our new CELSIUS V810 workstation, we have been able to extend the possibilities for our customers," said Peter Esser, executive vice president, Volume Products, Fujitsu Siemens Computers. "The architectural benefits of the AMD Opteron processor and the ability to run 32-bit and 64-bit applications in parallel will enable our customers to develop completely new products, reduce time to market and development costs." |
