Based on Mobile AMD Athlon™ processor technology, AMD NX processors deliver superior computing performance for applications including thin-client, point-of-sale terminals, kiosks, high-end printers, and home media systems. AMD Geode Solutions have received new model numbers to better reflect total performance beyond just megahertz. This presentation of attributes gives designers greater understanding of the capabilities of AMD Geode Solutions. SiS 741CX Northbridge Chipset and SiS964 Southbridge Chipset The SiS741CX chipset can be combined with three different AMD Geode NX processors, including the AMD Geode™ NX 1250@6W processor*, AMD Geode™ NX 1500@6W processor** and AMD Geode™ NX 1750@14W processor***, enabling development of a wider variety of products for different market segments. The SiS741CX chipset supports the AMD Geode NX processor family, DDR266 front side bus, as well as high-speed DDR333 DRAM. Furthermore, the SiS741CX chipset incorporates SiS's revolutionary HyperStreaming™ Technology, which provides multiple divided pipelines for data, allows data to be sent concurrently, and separates data for easier memory retrieval, resulting in a remarkable reduction in latency versus traditional chipsets.

  • 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.

  • A Case for Computer Architecture Performance Metrics That Reflect
    Duke University, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Technical Report #2007-2, May 2007 A Case for Computer Architecture Performance Metrics that Reflect Process Variability Bogdan F. Romanescu, Michael E. Bauer, Daniel J. Sorin, and Sule Ozev {bfr2, meb26, sorin, sule}@ee.duke.edu Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Duke University I. INTRODUCTION As computer architects, we frequently analyze the per- formance of systems, and we have developed well-under- stood metrics for reporting and comparing system performances. The dominant textbook in our field [7] is sub- titled “A Quantitative Approach” and it repeatedly empha- sizes the need for quantitative performance metrics that accurately reflect actual performance rather than just aspects of performance. Students are taught to report how long it takes a processor to run a benchmark rather than just the pro- cessor’s clock rate or the instructions per cycle (IPC) it probability density function (pdf) achieves on a benchmark, both of which present incomplete pictures of performance. Architects now face an issue, increasing process variabil- performance in tpmC ity [5, 10], that requires us to add a new aspect to perfor- mance metrics. As transistor and wire dimensions continue Fig. 1. Two Example Performance Distributions to shrink, the variability in these dimensions—across chips and within a given chip—has a greater impact. Process vari- could affect their relative utilities. Utility can be defined in ability complicates system design by introducing uncertainty many ways.
