AMD's 64-Bit Computing Solutions
Leading the Industry to Pervasive 64-bit Computing
Traditional 32-bit processors are approaching the end of viable computing utility. Only through shifting to a 64-bit design is it possible to achieve the expanded address space and improved performance required for today's most sophisticated software.
Modern 64-bit designs are not, of course, new to the market. Proprietary solutions have been part of the digital ecosystem for many years, but they fail to meet enterprise needs because they are fundamentally incompatible with 32-bit software and the x86 instruction set — both of which represent a tremendous IT investment for most enterprises.
AMD64 is a 64-bit x86 solution that supports backwards compatibility with 32-bit applications, without a performance penalty in either context.
AMD64 provides a completely modern instruction set for 64-bit software. A radically expanded memory address space that waves goodbye to the 32-bit 4 GB limit. Enhanced throughput.
Proprietary benefits such as Direct Connect Architecture and improved security, designed with Microsoft to prevent buffer overflow attacks. All with zero compromise in 32-bit performance or compatibility.
It's no surprise it's already the most successful 64-bit technology in history.
Cutting-Edge 32-bit and 64-bit Performance
The AMD64 platform is the first designed to deliver full compatibility with existing x86 solutions and world-class 64-bit performance, delivering the next generation of performance...today
