AMD Redefines Everyday Computing With The AMD Sempron™ Processor Family

Acer, Asus, HP and Lenovo among leading OEMs to offer AMD Sempron™ processor-based systems

    SUNNYVALE, CALIF. -- July 28, 2004 --AMD (NYSE: AMD) today announced the availability of AMD Sempron™ processors, a new family of processors that redefine everyday computing for value-conscious buyers of desktop and notebook PCs. The AMD Sempron and Mobile AMD Sempron processors are designed to deliver best-in-class performance and a full-feature set to meet the evolving day-to-day computing needs of home and business PC users.

    AMD將新的Sempron處理器的定位在“everyday computing ”上，這個“everyday computing ”說的可謂是恰到好處，不但涵蓋了目前市場上Duron的市場定位也涵蓋了Athlon XP的市場定位，同時也不排除將來A64降價到中高端的可能。而其面向的“value-conscious buyers ”也正是目前選擇Duron以及AthlonXP的用戶群。

    “Today, AMD charts a new course for the industry by changing the definition of everyday computing to reflect what businesses and consumers really want to do with their PCs,” said Marty Seyer, corporate vice president and general manager, Microprocessor Business Unit, Computation Products Group, AMD. “The AMD Sempron processor family provides PC users a winning combination of functionality and performance for home and office productivity applications to improve their overall computing experience.”

    在應用層面上，面向於“home and office productivity applications ”的Sempron處理器不但能夠滿足消費者的需求，而且重新定義了日常運算（everyday computing）的概念。

    The day-to-day computing needs of home and business users have evolved from basic e-mail, Web browsing and word processing to downloading music, photo editing, movie viewing, Web conferencing, and advanced office productivity. AMD is delivering the AMD Sempron processor family to meet the evolving everyday computing needs of notebook and desktop computer users.

    這種“日常運算”的概念包括什麼呢？AMD為我們詮釋了這一切，所謂“日常運算”不但包括通常的收發郵件，瀏覽網頁，下載音樂等操作，還包括對系統要求更高的圖片處理，網頁制作，以及其他更高要求的辦公軟件的應用。

    “In working together with partners like AMD, we are able to create the optimal PC for customers across all consumer price points - whether they are looking for a great home office PC, a computer that helps them enrich their lives with digital photos and music, an all-inclusive digital entertainment PC, or a powerful gaming system,” said Sam Szteinbaum, vice president, Consumer Computing – North America, HP. “With the AMD Sempron processors, expected to be offered on select HP Pavilion and Compaq Presario PCs later this year, we are able to offer customers the right PC to fit their needs, at a competitive price.”

    HP的Sam Szteinbaum表示，AMD的Sempron處理器能夠讓他們做出滿足全部用戶需求的電腦，從家用到商用，從娛樂到游戲，Sempron讓所有的問題得以整合。而采用Sempron處理器的HP Pavilion 以及Compaq Presario也將在今年晚些時候上市。

    Lenovo Group Ltd. is currently offering AMD Sempron processor-based desktop systems in China.

“The AMD Sempron processor-based Lenovo PC offers users in China a tremendous opportunity to buy a PC with the performance and features that meet their daily home and business computing needs,” said Lu Yan, vice president of Lenovo Group. “Whether our customers need their PC to surf the Internet, send digital images, e-mail, or listen to music, with the AMD Sempron processor they get best-in-class performance for their applications-of-choice.”

    聯想，作為這次和AMD同步發行產品的唯一的一家內地企業，能夠和AMD一起發布新產品，證明了他們雄厚的實力。

“Consumers and businesses want desktops and notebooks that perform well on everyday applications,” said Roger Kay, vice president of client computing at IDC. “As client computing evolves, more buyers are seeking both performance and value.”

    Acer, Medion, Twinhead, and many more OEMs and system builders are also expected to offer AMD Sempron processor-based notebook and desktop systems in the second half of this year.

    AMD Athlon™ 64 processors, for those who need performance computing, will continue to be offered for outstanding 32-bit performance, capability for tomorrow’s 64-bit applications, and Enhanced Virus Protection in conjunction with the upcoming Windows® XP Service Pack 2.
