AMD announced that its AMD64 Longevity Program for embedded solutions, which
provides processor availability for five years, has expanded to include two
additional low-power processors based on AMD's successful mobile products.
With addition of the Mobile AMD Sempron processor model 3500+ and the AMD
Turion 64 X2 dual-core mobile technology Model TL-52, embedded designers will
now have more options to innovate at the system-level and deliver leading edge
performance with low-cost of ownership to their customers.
“AMD is addressing the needs of embedded designers by making more of our
products available to those who require longer than standard component
availability,” said Greg White, VP-Embedded Product Division, AMD. “Our
goal is to empower our embedded customers to create different solutions on a
solid, consistent architecture. And by expanding longevity options we are doing
just that. This is the first in a series of steps AMD is planning to broaden its
embedded product offerings and support throughout 2007.”

Several key customers are providing their next generation embedded products
based on these AMD processors, including Accrosser, Albatron, Aopen, Axxtend,
EPoX and ICP. These low-power processors provide a specific balance of
performance, packaging features and thermal envelopes to best meet customer
requests for embedded processors in the thin client and single board computing
markets.
In addition to the benefits of AMD64 technology with direct connect
architecture, the Mobile AMD Sempron processor model 3500+ and the AMD Turion 64
X2 dual-core mobile technology model TL-52 provide superb thermal management for
smaller form factors, socket reliability, and low profile packaging.
The AMD64 Longevity Program offers a select set of AMD64 processors with an
extended standard availability period of five years-addressing the
requirements of customers designing products for network, storage, blade
servers, telecommunications servers, digital imaging; military and industrial
controls systems. Such markets have lengthy design and qualification cycles and
longer life spans in the marketplace than typical mainstream computing products.
