 Microsoft Corp. has been congratulated by AMD for the significant achievement of bringing the much expected Windows® 7 operating system to consumers and businesses worldwide. Windows 7, which is optimized for AMD processing technologies and launching along with VISION Technology by AMD in retail outlets worldwide, on AMD-based PCs allows consumers from all over the world to enjoy an exceptionally rich, intuitive and stable computing experience.
AMD is the only one who delivers expertise and innovations that cover areas from high-end graphics and video processing to multi-core CPUs in designing balanced PC platforms. Combined with the collaboration with Microsoft during the development of the Windows 7 operating system, this unique capability offers a visibly superior experience to consumers: from video playback to game play to enabling the speeding of processor-intensive tasks like transcoding.
Including features such as Windows 7 drag-and-drop, upscaling DVD videos to near-HD quality on HD-capable monitors, and touch-screen operation, PC buyers have the advantage of the enhancements in Windows 7 for their PC by using VISION Technology from AMD. Enabling a superior visual PC experience and enriching virtually everything PC users see, share, and create, VISION technology by AMD helps simplify the consumer buying experience.
Being already available and sold along with Windows 7 installed at leading retail and online outlets, second-generation AMD Ultrathin and 2009 AMD Mainstream Notebook platforms, leverage VISION Technology from AMD to address the needs of today’s PC lifestyle. Today’s PC users, having a growing focus on new entertainment capabilities such as rich and vivid HD video, music and photos, available Blu-ray playback, 7.1 surround audio and HDMI output with multi-tasking performance, will find all these features in notebooks with Vision Technology from AMD.
The ATI Radeon™ HD 5800 series, being the most powerful PC graphics and video processors ever created until now, offer immersive gaming experiences with support for ATI Eyefinity Technology and DirectX® 11, the first processor to do so3.
By using the combined power of CPU and graphics, ATI Stream technology is taking advantage of AMD’s balanced platform approach in order to drastically accelerate computing performance with enabled applications, like converting video to portable media players with Windows 7 drag-and-drop.
Small and enterprise businesses can be more efficient with the help of AMD Business Class Technology by using desktop PCs supporting Windows 7 and AMD Virtualization™ (AMD-V™) technology. Businesses can leverage their investment in Windows XP applications by taking advantage of features like Windows XP Mode, as well as industry standards like Desktop and Mobile Architecture for System Hardware (DASH) 1.1 for out-of-band manageability and TPM 1.2 for security.
VP, Product Marketing, AMD, Leslie Sobon, declared: “The availability of Windows 7 represents an important step for the PC industry, enabling an improved user experience focused on what users care about most today – PC entertainment that spans video, photos, music and gaming, as well as everyday consumer and business applications.” Leslie continued: “AMD has worked closely with Microsoft to help them optimize the necessary processing technologies that bring this exciting operating system to life for users, and we look forward to continued collaboration in pushing the envelope on the future of computing.”
