WHAT:
Today, AMD (NYSE: AMD) introduced several new energy-efficient desktop processors designed to reduce power consumption for greater performance-per-watt. These processors will offer additional choice for system builders and OEMs looking to differentiate their products and provide customers with low-noise, low-heat system designs.
Enhancements to the AMD Athlon™ X2 dual-core processor improve multi-tasking performance for energy-efficient systems. Additionally, a variety of AMD Athlon and AMD Sempron™ single-core processors give energy conscious customers multiple performance and price points to meet the diverse needs of consumers.
WHY:
The newest AMD energy-efficient processors are conducive to developing smaller and sleeker form factors. Delivering high performance and quiet operation, these processors are ideal for the office, classroom, or living room.
Energy-efficient processors from AMD can help reduce the amount of energy PCs consume, thereby decreasing associated cooling requirements and the overall cost of its operation.
The performance of AMD energy-efficient processors should be equal to that of comparably configured solutions, but with reduced power consumption.
AMD expects these energy-efficient processors will power a great computing experience that can meet, and in many instances exceed, the new system requirements from the EPA’s ENERGY STAR Version 4 computer specification.
WHO BENEFITS:
Benefiting both consumers and businesses, energy-efficient AMD processors enable system designs that are capable of reduced noise and heat emissions with extended longevity, for a quieter and more pleasant computing experience in offices and homes.
