Notably, the design team was led by Dirk Meyer, who had worked as a lead engineer on multiple Alpha microprocessors during his employment at DEC. Jerry Sanders had approached many of the engineering staff to work for AMD as DEC wound down their semiconductor business, and brought in a near-complete team of engineering experts.

" This was given as a printout for each AMD worker who started a job at AMD in Dresden until Jerry Sanders retirement.

* AMD " Jerry Sanders " Creative Design Competition

In the announcement, Sanders referred to the partnership as creating a " virtual gorilla " that would enable AMD to compete with Intel on fabrication capacity while limiting AMD's financial outlay for new facilities.

Walter Jeremiah Sanders III ( born September 12, 1936 ) is a co-founder and was a long-time CEO of the American semiconductor manufacturer Advanced Micro Devices ( AMD ).

Sanders took his trademark style into his position as the CEO of AMD.

Sanders always wanted to make money, but he realized that the key to earning wealth was for everyone else at AMD to make a lot of money too.

* Windows XP Professional x64 Edition, released on 25 April 2005 for home and workstation systems utilizing 64-bit processors based on the x86-64 instruction set developed by AMD as AMD64 ; Intel calls their version Intel 64

Companies such as AMD and Cyrix developed alternative CPUs that were functionally compatible with Intel's.

AMD developed AMD64, the first major extension not created by Intel, which Intel later adopted.

The PR ( Performance Rating ) system was developed by AMD in the mid-1990s as a method of comparing their x86 processors to those of rival Intel.

An extension of Socket 7, Super Socket 7, was developed by AMD for their K6-2 and K6-III processors to operate at a higher clock rate and use AGP.

is an extension to the x86 instruction set developed by Advanced Micro Devices ( AMD ).

By the time the x86 CPU shortage was over, AMD had developed revised versions of the K6 family: the K6-2 + and the K6-III +.

( developed by AMD ), SSE and SSE2.

" Although lead containing solder cannot be completely eliminated from all applications today, AMD engineers have developed effective technical solutions to reduce lead content in microprocessors and chipsets to ensure RoHS compliance while minimizing costs and maintaining product features.

A South African company claims to have developed a patented ion-exchange process that treats mine effluents ( and AMD ) economically, but such claims remain unsubstantiated at present.

AMD developed its first generation virtualization extensions under the code name " Pacifica ", and initially published them as AMD Secure Virtual Machine ( SVM ), but later marketed them under the trademark AMD Virtualization, abbreviated AMD-V.

The company later developed another product line of brain-scanning or computed tomography equipment based on the Lockheed SUE 16-bit minicomputer ( see also Pluribus ); later designs included an optional vector processor using AMD Am2900 bipolar bit-slices to speed tomographic reconstruction calculations.

Heavily used in high-performance computing, highly optimized implementations of the BLAS interface have been developed by hardware vendors such as Intel and AMD, as well as by other authors, e. g. Goto BLAS and ATLAS ( a portable self-optimizing BLAS ).

Socket 754 is a CPU socket originally developed by AMD to succeed its Athlon XP platform ( socket 462, also referred to as Socket A ).

Socket 754 was the first socket developed by AMD to support their new consumer version of the 64 bit microprocessor family known as AMD64.

The AMD 29000, often simply 29k, was a popular family of 32-bit RISC microprocessors and microcontrollers developed and fabricated by Advanced Micro Devices ( AMD ).

Support started with the Geode GX processor developed by AMD for the OLPC, Artec Group then added Geode LX support for its model DBE61 ThinCan.

That code is now being further developed by the coreboot community to support other AMD Geode solutions.

Meyer joined AMD in 1996, where he personally led the team that designed and developed the Athlon processor.

The demo was developed to take advantage of the increased performance offered by the 64-bit processing architecture of the AMD Athlon 64 processors.

Similar to the AMD K5, the Cyrix 6x86 was a design far more focused on integer per-clock performance than clock scalability, something that proved to be a strategic mistake.

Crytek has partnerships with Electronic Arts, Ubisoft, THQ, NVIDIA, Intel, AMD, FMOD, Scaleform, Xoreax Software, Sparkasse Coburg, and Rating Services.

In 2010, the value of the Armenian Dram ( AMD ) was artificially kept high during the height of the global economic crisis.

In 2010, GPHI announced it had won a significant favorable ruling in its litigation with ATI Technologies and AMD in June 2010, following the patent lawsuit originally filed during the Silicon Graphics, Inc. era.

AMD, during one of its numerous court battles with Intel, produced marketing material from Intel indicating that MMX stood for " Matrix Math Extensions ".

Intel's i960 ( or 80960 ) was a RISC-based microprocessor design that became popular during the early 1990s as an embedded microcontroller, becoming a best-selling CPU in that field, along with the competing AMD 29000.

In 2008, both Intel ( Nehalem ) and AMD ( SVM ) have introduced tags as part of the TLB entry and dedicated hardware which checks the tag during lookup.

As of late 2011, computer microprocessors run at very high speeds, while memory technology does not seem to be able to catch up: typical PC processors like the Intel Core 2 and the AMD Athlon 64 X2 run with a clock of several GHz, which means that one clock cycle is less than 1 nanosecond ( typically about 0. 3 ns to 0. 5 ns on modern desktop CPUs ), while main memory has a latency of about 15-30 ns.

Because it was late to market and did not meet performance expectations, the K5 never gained the acceptance among large computer manufacturers that the Am486 and AMD K6 enjoyed.

In late 1995 AMD dropped development of the 29k because the design team was transferred to support the PC side of the business.

These systems typically contain Intel CPUs, beginning with the Pentium and with the Core i7 ( as of late 2008 ), although Dell sells some models with AMD CPUs as well.

Towards the end of the 1990s, AMD was taking an increasing share of the CPU market for PCs.

* AMD K5 CPU chip released in the 1990s

The Am486 is a 80486-class family of computer processors that was produced by AMD in the 1990s.

Throughout the 1990s out-of-order execution became more common, and was featured in the IBM / Motorola PowerPC 601 ( 1993 ), Fujitsu / HAL SPARC64 ( 1995 ), Intel Pentium Pro ( 1995 ), MIPS R10000 ( 1996 ), HP PA-8000 ( 1996 ), AMD K5 ( 1996 ) and DEC Alpha 21264 ( 1998 ).
