All Rights Reserved 1 Purpose This document details interoperability test procedures and results of the PEX 8114BD bridge Rapid Development Kits (RDK). The RDKs include both Forward and Reverse bridges. 2 Test Phases There are three test phases as defined below: Phase 1: Motherboards and System BIOS Testing – This phase ensures the PEX 8114BD RDK is properly detected and works with different motherboard chipsets, CPUs, BIOS, and drivers. Phase 2: Endpoints Testing – This phase consists of testing with endpoint devices, such as video adapter cards, Ethernet network cards, storage controllers and TV tuners. Phase 3: Chip-to-chip Interoperability and WHQL Certification – This phase tests multiple PEX 8114BD RDKs, and other bridge or switch RDKs. Microsoft WHQL certification for a selected video card is done as well. One or more of the following Microsoft operating system is used as the software platform: • Windows XP Professional • Windows Server 2003 • Windows Server x64 for 2003 • Windows Vista Ultimate • Windows Server 2008 • Apple Mac X (Leopard version) Note: It is not possible to test every combination of endpoints, BIOS versions, motherboard chipsets and drivers. However, the test cases below are selected carefully to ensure the widest interoperability coverage of our RDKs. Refer to the test checklists attached for the exact configurations and actual test results. 3 Equipment Setup The following shows software versions and RDK configurations used for testing. Table 1.

PEX 8114BD Interoperability Test Report — Version 3.0 5 Copyright © 2008 by PLX Technology, Inc. All Rights Reserved 3.1 System BIOS Settings Modern PC test system have system BIOS that allows configuring specific settings. These settings, ranging from video displays to power management allow taking advantage of powerful hardware features. It is critical that the System BIOS is properly configured. RDKs may not work at all or work in an unpredictable, if the settings are incorrect or suboptimal. See the Design Note PEX 8XXX -- PLX Switches/Bridges RDK Interoperability for more information. To access the system BIOS, reboot the system and either hit the ESCAPE key or F1 key or F2 key or DELETE key (different BIOS have different access keys) BEFORE the Windows operating system loads. Verify that the BIOS parameters are set to the values below. After changing the BIOS parameters, remember to SAVE THE SETTINGS (typically select the F10 key). Reboot the system to reinitialize the BIOS which then loads Windows normally. PEX 8114BD Interoperability Test Report — Version 3.0 6 Copyright © 2008 by PLX Technology, Inc. All Rights Reserved 4 Test descriptions and Procedures Test the following categories in the default states. 4.1 Motherboards and System BIOS Testing The goal is to ensure that the RDK and SDK coexist and can perform fundamental functions interfacing to the motherboard root complexes. Root complexes, in this definition, include Northbridge and/or Southbridge chipsets as well as system interrupt controllers. In this phase, only the PEX 8114BD RDK is installed on the motherboard slot. No endpoints need to be connected since the focus is just on the root complex interface and BIOS detection of the PLX hardware only. The methodology is: • Reserve the test system. See the attached list of Motherboards and Systems for reference. • The PC should already be preconfigured and loaded with a selected operating system and hardware (an internal ATA drive with at least 40 Gigabytes of space and a CD-ROM or DVD drive. The hard disk should be previously partitioned and, ideally, no other applications or utilities were installed. The system should also have at least 1 Gigabytes of memory and Pentium 4 or equivalent CPU). Notify the lab manager if exceptions apply. • Follow instructions from the RDK kit and then install the PCI SDK and the PCI-Express

  • Equity Research – Advanced Micro Devices (AMD)
    A Work Project, presented as part of the requirements for the Award of a Master Degree in Finance from the NOVA – School of Business and Economics. Equity Research – Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) Bruno Filipe Isaías dos Santos - 33867 Filipa Simão Teles - 33881 A Project carried out on the Master in Finance Program, under the supervision of: Rosário André 3rd January, 2020 Abstract Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) is a Silicon Valley-born semiconductor company, that had its IPO in 1972. Despite its rough past, in the most recent years, AMD has been able to gain competitive advantage in relation to its industry peers, as well as market share due to its continuous innovative products’ lines of EPYC and Ryzen processors, and Radeon graphics. Furthermore, recently established partnerships and launched products give the company good growth prospects, in the near future. For these reasons an Equity Research Report was conducted on AMD, in order to get to a fair value of the stock. AMD’s valuation in the report was assessed through the Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) method, considering various factors that could affect the company’s financial statement line items. Among those factors are the Average Selling Price of its products, Units Shipments, Gross Margin, investments in innovation (R&D), and several partnerships alongside with the company’s Market Share. A scenario analysis on the effects of the tariffs, coming from the Trade War, was also conducted on AMD’s price. The price target arrived for December 31, 2020 was $52.75, leading to a BUY investment recommendation, considering normal market conditions.
