AMD's embedded solutions target Internet devices other than personal computers. The target products include tablet computers, car navigation and entertainment systems, home and small office network products and communication equipment. AMD Geode solution series includes not only x86-based embedded processors, but also various system solutions.
AMD's Alchemy series solutions include MIPS processors with low power consumption and high performance, wireless technology, development circuit boards and reference design kits. With the introduction of these new solutions, AMD's products will be more diversified, which will help to establish AMD's leading position in the new generation product market.
In order to ensure that the company's products continue to maintain a competitive advantage, AMD has been investing in the development of the next generation of advanced technologies for many years. At present, AMD has begun to develop high-performance technologies that can be applied in the next five to 10 years.
At present, AMD's advanced technology R&D centers in Sunnyvale, California and Dresden, Germany are responsible for several R&D projects respectively. In addition, AMD also cooperates with IBM to develop a new generation of process technology.
AMD's Automated Precision Production (APM) Technology
In order to succeed in today's highly competitive market, multinational electronics companies need reliable suppliers and partners to provide them with the required solutions on time and in quantity.
Therefore, AMD has adopted an efficient partner-based research and development model to ensure that its products and solutions always keep ahead in performance and power consumption. With the help of the technology and resources of industry partners, AMD has integrated advanced sub-micron technology for its products. Its products are usually ahead of the overall level of the industry, and the cost is much lower than the average cost.
In order to seamlessly adopt these advanced technologies in mass production, AMD has developed and adopted hundreds of patented technologies to automatically determine the most complicated manufacturing decisions. These unique functions are collectively called Automated Precision Production (APM) in the industry. They provide AMD with unprecedented production speed, accuracy and flexibility.
