AMD64 technology uniquely supports the new telecom landscape

The telecommunications business environment has changed dramatically—rapidly changing technology opportunities and requirements, customer demand driven evolution, and a move toward blade form factors, industry-standards, and Commercial off the Shelf (COTS) compo­nents-based system design.

AMD64 technology with Direct Connect Architecture enables Telecommunications Equipment Manufacturers (TEMs) and Network Equipment Providers (NEPs) to develop stable, modular systems that address this converging, quickly changing, and performance hungry market.

AMD64 technology provides a flexible and reliable foundation for carrier grade systems including high scalability, ease of management and ease of infrastructure build-outs with investment protection, minimal disruption, and component longevity. And AMD is known for developing technology that supports overall system performance.

• HyperTransport ™ technology's low latency and high bandwidth allow for increased network traffic in packets per second
• Low latency allows time-critical voice, data, and content traffic to move quickly and freely through the system, supporting:
• The continued increase in number of communications customers
• The increasing demand of existing customers with improved Quality of Service (QOS)
• Performance-per-watt efficiencies can mean higher service levels with lower costs of ownership

AMD delivers the benefits of multi-core computing

Multi-core design enhances performance to virtually the same extent as multi-processor designs but more elegantly. It increases the maximum number of processing tasks by distributing computing threads among cores in real time. Because computation is confined to a single die, less heat is produced, less electricity is consumed, product life is extended, and more computation is available in smaller form factors. In short, multi-core processing helps minimize computational costs to the enterprise.

AMD was the first to deliver dual-core, x86-compatible, 64-bit processors, each optimized with proprietary benefits such as Direct Connect Architecture, which reduces or eliminates bottlenecks routing data to and from the CPU. And only AMD's processors feature an integrated memory controller.

Industry standards, remarkable reliability

AMD's reliable high-performance computing solutions for telecommunications combine leading-edge innovation with cost efficiency to design, develop, manage, and operate. AMD64 technology is a trusted, reliable, and leading-edge processor foundation for carrier-grade embedded computing and communications markets: from the edge to the core.
