New Energy Efficient Processors

Hello ITVidya Members,

AMD launches a new Energy Efficient Processor in order to save the energy consumption.

AMD has introduced new desktop processors designed for users seeking the ultimate in energy-conscious high-performance computing.

The new energy-efficient processors include 45-watt Athlon 64 single-core processors 3500+ and 3800+, and the Athlon 64 X2 dual-core processor 6000+.

The Athlon 64 processors 3500+ and 3800+, which can help consumers and businesses save energy and experience significant performance-per-watt benefits, are based on 65nm technology. Using the reduced line widths enabled by 65nm technology, AMD can pack more processors on a 300mm wafer, while manufacturing processors designed for low-power consumption, reinforcing AMD's commitment to energy-efficient computing.

Besides, these AMD processors based on 65nm technology can deliver outstanding performance and enable small form factor system designs.

It is also learnt that desktop systems based on AMD64 dual-core technology, including the AMD Athlon 64 X2 processor 6000+, benefit from AMD's open platform approach that enables superior technologies designed for outstanding mainstream PC experiences with leading-edge graphics performance, high quality video, and minimal idle power draw.

Moreover, these systems can also power Microsoft Windows Vista and run the visual, networking, and security enhancements now available in the Vista operating system.

On this occasion, Bob Brewer, Corporate Vice President - Desktop Division, AMD, said, "Our relentless focus on customer-centric innovation and industry leadership in performance-per-watt enables AMD to offer the market new energy-efficient AMD Athlon 64 processors. We expect that our commercial and consumer customers, as well as end-users, will be pleased with both the low noise and small form factor designs possible using this latest generation of energy-efficient desktop processors."

"With the simultaneous introduction of the new AMD Athlon 64 X2 dual-core processor 6000+, AMD remains a leading-edge provider of technology that offers end-users the performance they seek, while delivering the unwavering level of quality they have come to expect from AMD," added Brewer.

These new processors are immediately available in the channel and from OEMs including Alienware, Fujitsu Siemens Computers, Systemax, and Voodoo.

While the pricing for the 65nm energy-efficient Athlon 64 processors 3500+ and 3800+ is $88 (Rs 3,893 approx) and $93 (Rs 4,115 approx), respectively, the AMD Athlon 64 X2 dual-core processor 6000+ is priced at $464 (Rs 20,531).
