AMD Add Two Processors to AMD64 Longevity Program for Embedded Solutions

AMD announced that the company  has expanded AMD64 Longevity Program to include two additional processors based on AMD's mobile products. The processors are: Mobile AMD Sempron model 3500+ and the AMD Turion 64 X2  Model TL-52.

With these addition, embedded designers will have more options to innovate at the system-level, and the opportunity to deliver leading edge performance with low cost of ownership to their customers.

Mobile AMD Sempron Processor model 3500+ and the AMD Turion 64 X2 dual-core mobile technology model TL-52 provide:

• AMD64 technology with Direct Connect Architecture
• Superb thermal management for smaller form factors
• Socket reliability
• Fewer pins and low profile packaging
• Direct access to the die from the heat sink

The AMD64 Longevity Program offers a select set of AMD64 processors with an extended standard availability period of five years—addressing the requirements of customers designing products for network, storage, blade and telecommunications servers; digital imaging; and military and industrial controls systems. Such markets have lengthy design and qualification cycles and longer life spans in the marketplace than typical mainstream computing products.
