AMD, along with our partners, celebrates the success of a processor that transformed the enterprise with groundbreaking architecture, industry-leading performance and an ecosystem committed to the development of a 64-bit solution.
One year ago, AMD introduced the AMD Opteron™ processor, the world’s first 32-bit and 64-bit processor compatible with the industry-standard x86 architecture. As a result of overwhelming customer demand, Fortune 500 customers such as Daimler-Chrysler, Ducati, Ferrari, Verisign and weather.com are now implementing AMD Opteron processor-based systems from three of the four Tier One OEMs—HP, IBM and Sun. Major OS vendors, including Microsoft, Linux, Solaris and UNIX, have committed to developing operating systems based on AMD64 technology along with key database partners like Computer Associates, IBM, Microsoft, DB2 and Oracle. In addition, the AMD Opteron processor has garnered 14 industry awards. Read More

“We chose to expand our product offerings with the AMD Opteron processor because we recognize the immediate performance advantages in 32-bit environments, which accelerates ISV adoption and further advances the future of 64-bit ecosystems. The ProLiant servers and blades incorporating the AMD technology simply gives us the ability to offer our customers more performance and more choice.”
Dave Turek, vice president of Deep Computing, IBM
“As the first OEM to announce support of the AMD Opteron processor and the first to introduce an AMD Opteron processor-based workstation to the market, IBM has worked closely with AMD to give customers the flexibility and performance to power intense computing applications. As our customers continue to pursue new achievements in business and science through high-performance computing, we will continue to work with companies like AMD to offer the choices customers require.”
Souheil Saliba, vice president of marketing and strategy, Sun Microsystems, Inc.
“Increasing customer demand for x86 solutions that are 32-bit and 64-bit capable, and deliver maximum performance led us to pursue a collaboration with AMD. With the addition of AMD Opteron processors, we now have a competitive set of high-performance x86 systems that support the Solaris™ Operating System x86 platform, RedHat Linux and SUSE Linux. Our strategic alliance with AMD and collaboration on future joint technology development will result in a broad set of enterprise servers based on the AMD Opteron processor.”
