Fab 25 Wins “Top Fab of the Year”Award for 1996 emiconductor International, a leading magazine for the semiconductor manufacturing indus- try, has named AMD’s new Fab 25 “Top Fab of the Year” for 1996. Fab 25 was awarded the Shonors from a global field of more than 140 wafer fab facilities built or under construction between 1994-96. The prestigious Top Fab award recognizes Fab 25 for its advanced process technology, cleanroom procedures, environmental safeguards, and manufacturing productivity. Fab 25 was profiled in the May 1996 issue of Semiconductor International. The article noted that Fab 25 was “designed to achieve standard-setting levels of manufacturing excellence.” The 950,000-square-foot Fab 25 complex features 86,700 square feet of class 0.04 cleanroom space. The $1.4-billion, Austin-based facility was completed on time and in budget and shipped its first commercial microprocessor product in Q3 1995, about two years after ground breaking. Fab 25 is now producing the AMD-K5 processor in volume on 0.35-micron process technology.

A given ISA may be implemented with different microarchitectures.[1] Implementations might vary due to different goals of a given design or due to shifts in technology.[2] Computer architecture is the combination of microarchitecture and instruction set design. Relation to instruction set architecture The ISA is roughly the same as the programming model of a processor as seen by an assembly language programmer or compiler writer. The ISA includes the execution model, processor registers, address and data formats among other things. The Intel Core microarchitecture microarchitecture includes the constituent parts of the processor and how these interconnect and interoperate to implement the ISA. The microarchitecture of a machine is usually represented as (more or less detailed) diagrams that describe the interconnections of the various microarchitectural elements of the machine, which may be everything from single gates and registers, to complete arithmetic logic units (ALU)s and even larger elements.

  • AMD in Embedded: Proven Leadership and Solutions
    AMD in Embedded: Proven Leadership and Solutions A long history of high-performance low-power solutions for embedded applications For over two decades AMD has been a leader in the embedded market: in the early 1990’s with the introduction of the Am386 and Am486 and their adoption in embedded designs, and followed in 1995 with the introduction of the Am5x86 processor. The AM5x86 processor was one of the fastest and most universally-compatible upgrade paths for users of 486 systems when it was introduced. AMD continued to expand their E86 (Embedded x86) product family in the late 90’s with the release of the Élan™SC520 microcontroller for data communications, telecommunications, and information appliance markets. The ÉlanSC520 microcontroller extended the options available to embedded systems designers by providing fifth-generation x86 performance and was designed to run both 16-bit and 32-bit software. The AMD embedded group grew significantly in early 2000 with the acquisition of Alchemy Semiconductor for its Alchemy line of MIPS processors for the hand-held and portable media player markets. In order to augment its existing line of embedded x86 processor products, AMD also purchased the AMD Geode™ business in August 2003 which was originally part of National Semiconductor. During the second quarter of 2004, AMD launched the new low- power AMD Geode™ NX processors which were based on the AMD-K7™ Thoroughbred architecture with speeds up to 1.4 GHz. These AMD Geode NX processors offered a high performance option in the AMD Geode product line that was still sufficiently low power to be designed into fan-less applications.
