The AMD64 Computing Platform: Your Link to the Future of Computing

AMD64 is a new computing platform that extends the ubiquitous x86 architecture to accommodate 64-bit processing. Formerly known as x86-64, AMDIt's enhancements to the x86 architecture allow users of laptops, desktops, workstations, and servers operating within a 32-bit architecture to migrate seamlessly to the superior performance of 64-bit technology. This approach defines a new class of computing by combining full x86 compatibility, a high-performance 64-bit architecture, and the economics of an industry-standard processor. This new class of computing allows the technology industry to build solutions focused on customer needs while removing barriers to future innovation. The AMD Opteron™ and upcoming AMD Athlon™ 64 processors are AMDIt's first milestones in building this new class of computing. Companies such as Microsoft®, SuSE, IBM, NVIDIA, VIA, GIGABYTE, MSI, SIS, and others have announced their intention to provide solutions for these processors and the AMD64 platform. Investments in x86 applications are preserved, as they can run out their normal lifecycles on AMD64 platforms. Over time, more capable applications can be phased in, allowing customers to control development costs and migrate gradually and according to business needs.
