On 24 July 2006, The Inquirer wrote that, in response to AMD's announced intent to purchase ATI, " ATI had its chipset license pulled, or at least not renewed by Intel.

After the demise of Windows on Alpha ( and the demise of DEC ), Cutler was instrumental in porting Windows to AMD's new 64-bit AMD64 architecture.

* Sledgehammer, codename of AMD's 64-bit CPU, Opteron,

Sun products included computer servers and workstations built on its own RISC-based SPARC processor architecture as well as on x86 based AMD's Opteron and Intel's Xeon processors ; storage systems ; and a suite of software products including the Solaris operating system, developer tools, Web infrastructure software, and identity management applications.

to enhance their performance on AMD's K6 and Athlon series of processors.

In computing, Streaming SIMD Extensions ( SSE ) is an SIMD instruction set extension to the x86 architecture, designed by Intel and introduced in 1999 in their Pentium III series processors as a reply to AMD's 3DNow!

* AMD's Athlon 64 processors using the AM2 socket.

TPMs are already integrated in many systems using Intel's Core 2 Duo processors or AMD's Athlon 64 processors using the AM2 socket.

Intel Xeon processors dominated the multiprocessor market for business PCs and were the only x86 option until the release of AMD's Opteron range of processors in 2004.

The continuation of this practice, despite lower performance per clock, led consumers to conclude that AMD's Athlon XP processors, because they had much slower clock speeds than Intel's Pentium 4 processors, were inferior to Intel's Pentium 4 microprocessors.

AMD made sure to advertise the PR number of its microprocessors rather than their raw clock speeds believing that customers would compare the PR of AMD's processors to the clock speed of Intel's processors.

The use of the convention with these processors ( which are rated against AMD's earlier Thunderbird-based Athlon processors ) is less criticized, as the Athlon XP is a capable performer in both integer and FPU operations, and manages to outperform an Intel Pentium 4 at a PR equalling the Pentium 4's clock speed.

Most modern notebook and desktop processors ( utilizing power-saving schemes like AMD's Cool ' n ' Quiet and PowerNow!

x86 assembly language is a family of backward-compatible assembly languages, which provide some level of compatibility all the way back to the Intel 8008. x86 assembly languages are used to produce object code for the x86 class of processors, which includes Intel's Core series and AMD's Phenom and Phenom II series.

The AMD64 instruction set is implemented in AMD's Opteron, Athlon 64, Athlon 64 FX, Athlon 64 X2, Athlon II, Athlon X2, Turion 64, Turion 64 X2, later Sempron, Phenom, Phenom II, FX, and Fusion processors.

However, modern integrated graphics processors such as AMD's Fusion IGPs and Intel's HD Graphics are more than capable of handling 2D graphics from Adobe Flash or low stress 3D graphics, but struggle with the latest games like Battlefield 3.

Due to the push for System-on-a-chip ( SoC ) processors, modern devices increasingly have the northbridge integrated into the CPU die itself ; examples are Intel's Sandy Bridge and AMD's Fusion processors ( both released in 2011 ).

Socket 478 was launched with the Northwood core to compete with AMD's 462-pin Socket A and their Athlon XP processors.

After AMD's decision to include this functionality in its AMD64 instruction set, Intel implemented a similar feature in x86 processors beginning with the Pentium 4 processors based on later iterations of the Prescott core.

Other examples of microprocessors built on SOI technology include AMD's 130 nm, 90 nm, 65 nm, 45 nm and 32 nm single, dual, quad, six and eight core processors since 2001.

AMD's older CPUs could simply be set to run at whatever clock speed the user chose on the motherboard, making it trivial to relabel a CPU and sell it as a faster grade than it was originally intended.

These relabeled CPUs were not always stable, being overclocked and not tested properly, and this was damaging to AMD's reputation.

The Thunderbird was AMD's most successful product since the Am386DX-40 ten years earlier.

AMD's new fab in Dresden came online, allowing further production increases, and the process technology was improved by a switch to copper interconnects.

Following MMX, Intel's next major x86 extension was the SSE, introduced with the Pentium-III family ( roughly a year after AMD's 3DNow!

It was released on June 19, 2000 as a low-cost alternative to AMD's own Athlon processor and the Pentium III and Celeron processor lines from rival Intel.

AMD's Duron " Spitfire " CPU was only roughly 10 % slower than its big brother, Athlon " Thunderbird ".

While AMD's Am5x86 was little more than a clock-quadrupled 486 with a new name, Cyrix's 5x86 implemented some Pentium-like features.

Opteron is AMD's x86 server and workstation processor line, and was the first processor which supported the AMD64 instruction set architecture ( known generically as x86-64 ).

At the time of its introduction, AMD's fastest multicore Opteron was the model 875, with two cores running at 2. 2 GHz each.

AMD's fastest single-core Opteron at this time was the model 252, with one core running at 2. 6 GHz.

Using the fact that the raw Gigahertz ( GHz ) speed of the Pentium 4 was faster than AMD's Athlon XP microprocessor, Intel advertised the Pentium 4 using clock speed to distinguish between the performances of their different processor models.

AMD's Athlon II x2 CPUs were 65W, while the Athlon x4 was 95W.

Intel was forced to follow suit and introduced a modified NetBurst family which was fully software-compatible with AMD's design and specification.

AMD had previously been a second-source manufacturer of Intel's Intel 8086, Intel 80186 and Intel 80286 designs, and AMD's interpretation of the contract, made up in 1982, was that it covered all derivatives of them.

The SC242 was later used for AMD's Slot A as well, and while the two slots were identical mechanically, they were electrically incompatible.

The K5 was AMD's first x86 processor to be developed entirely in-house.

Socket 754 was the original socket for AMD's Athlon 64 desktop processors.

What remained of AMD's embedded business was realigned towards the embedded 186 family of 80186 derivatives.

Socket AM2 was a part of AMD's generation of CPU sockets that included Socket F for servers and Socket S1 for mobile computing.

AMD's method of extending Intel's 32-bit x86 instruction set to be a subset of its x86-64 instruction set is the same technique Intel employed to extend its 16-bit x86 instruction set to 32 bits.
