Veritest Declares AMD-Based NVIDIA Business Platform™ Systems Deliver “Excellent” Stability

AMD (NYSE: AMD) and NVIDIA Corporation (Nasdaq: NVDA), a worldwide leader in programmable graphics processor technologies, today announced the results of an independent study testing the stability and performance of NVIDIA Business Platform systems based on the AMD Commercial Stable Image Platform (AMD CSIP) program versus comparable systems based on the Intel commercial PC Stable Image Platform Program. The results, reported by respected third-party testing firm VeriTest™, the testing service of Lionbridge (NASDAQ: LIOX), concluded that NVIDIA Business Platform systems are “as stable, if not more stable,” than competitive solutions.

Designed with the goal of helping to lower total cost of ownership and enhance manageability, the NVIDIA Business Platform solution is built upon strong industry partnerships. AMD and NVIDIA are aligned through the AMD Commercial Stable Image Platform program, enabling offerings of PCs where both the underlying hardware and software configuration remain unchanged for at least one year.

“With the NVIDIA Business Platform, Aspect can offer our customers a compelling AMD-based PC perfect for small and medium business, education, and government buyers,” said Richard Liao, vice president, Aspect Computer Corp., a select NVIDIA Business Platform Certified system builder. “As proved by our participation in the VeriTest study, Aspect, AMD, and NVIDIA deliver the stability, quality, and reliability that customers demand.”

The VeriTest testing team conducted both benchmark and stability testing to simulate how the PCs would function in a highly demanding business environment. PC platform testing was conducted to evaluate performance with industry-standard benchmarks from VeriTest, PC World, SiSoftware, and Futuremark. In addition to the benchmark testing, stability testing of all PC platforms was performed using Passmark’s BurnInTest Professional V5 utility, which evaluated how the systems functioned when placed under high-stress and high-load for an extended period.
