Stealing a march on arch-rival Intel (Quote, Chart), AMD Wednesday won the endorsement of Microsoft (Quote, Chart) for its 64-bit chips on the desktop.
Microsoft said Wednesday that it is developing native 64-bit versions of its Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 operating systems designed to support AMD's forthcoming Opteron and Athlon 64 processors. Microsoft is looking to Opteron to power servers and workstations, and Athlon 64 for desktops and notebooks. It expects to have desktop and server beta releases ready by mid-2003.
AMD-Microsoft Alliance
AMD and Microsoft together are empowering businesses to do more. This collaboration brings the performance and scalability of 64-bit and dual-core computing to Microsoft SQL Server 2005. So what makes them such a good fit? The AMD Opteron™ processor with Direct Connect Architecture was designed to deliver more power and performance, easily handling data volumes not possible with 32-bit computing. With innovations such as an integrated memory controller and HyperTransport™ technology, the AMD Opteron processor can scale to support an ever-expanding world of data and users. And this enables organizations to deliver the connected solutions needed to run today's complex businesses faster and more efficiently. Other benefits of AMD64 technology include:
AMD vient d'annoncer son adhésion à l'Open Source Development Labs (OSDL), afin que les logiciels Open-Source soit encore mieux optimisés pour les processeurs 64 bits Opteron, Athlon 64 FX et Athlon 64.
L'OSDL est un consortium qui vise à accélérer la croissance et l'adoption de Linux ainsi que le support des solutions Open-Source.
" Nous sommes heureux qu'AMD rejoigne l'OSDL, car il contribuera à la richesse de la connaissance et de l'expertise vers notre mission à faire avancer Linux dans les entreprises", indique Stuart Cohen, CEO d'OSDL.
Depuis 2000, AMD travaille avec les principaux distributeurs Linux tels que Red Hat, SUSE LINUX, Mandrakesoft et Turbolinux ainsi qu'avec les communautés Linux comme cAos, Debian, Fedora, Gentoo et Tao ou encore UNIX avec NetBSD, FreeBSD et OpenBSD.
