[i]SUNNYVALE, Calif. -- March 9, 2005 --AMD today announced that the industry's leading operating system vendors are preparing their respective operating systems to support the upcoming introduction of AMD64 dual-core products.


All the leading operating systems currently available today are expected to have versions of their software that will immediately work out-of-the-box with the planned launch of the dual-core AMD Opteron™ processor with Direct Connect Architecture in mid-2005. These operating systems include Microsoft® Windows®, Novell and Red Hat Enterprise Linux distributions, and Sun Microsystems' Solaris 10. Some of the operating systems will include optimizations that specifically enable applications to take even greater advantage of AMD64 multi-core capabilities, providing improved performance across a range of applications.


“With our upcoming AMD64 dual-core processors, AMD yet again will deliver a technology that customers demand and, unlike competing architectures, is doing so in a way that makes it incredibly easy and non-disruptive for them to implement,â€
