AMD64 Longevity Program Branches Out With New Low Power Processors For High-End Embedded Designs

At the Embedded Systems Conference today, AMD (NYSE:AMD) announced that its AMD64 Longevity program for high-end embedded solutions, which guarantees processor availability for at least 5 years, has expanded to include two additional low-power AMD64 processors based on AMD’s successful mobile products. These products have been requested by high-end embedded customers whose product plans demand low power, 32- and 64-bit high performance capability, a small footprint on the board and low pin count. Both are part of the AMD64 Longevity program.

AMD has a focus on delivering industry-leading performance and technological innovations that are appropriate for today’s computing, within thermal and power bands that address the real concerns of data centers, telecom central offices and other unique computing environments that require high-end embedded designs.

“AMD has long had a commitment to delivering customers the right balance of power and performance,” said David Rich, director of 64-bit embedded markets at AMD. “For several years now, our high-end embedded customers have called on us because of the variety of processors that AMD offers in terms of leading power/performance ratios. The high-end embedded design community continues to embrace the AMD64 Longevity Program and today we are responding to their requests for additional AMD64 low-power solutions that offer the longevity they seek.”
