AMD Geode LX Processor Continues to Demonstrate Industry Leadership with Strong Customer Demand

SUNNYVALE, Calif. – June 6, 2006 – One year after its introduction to
the market, the AMD Geode(tm) LX processor family continues to build
momentum and industry demand. AMD (NYSE: AMD) launched low-power,
high-performance AMD Geode LX processors at Computex 2005 to offer
developers a smart choice for unique, full-featured devices, enabling
extended functionality, small form factors and long battery life. The
processor’s versatile, industry-standard x86 architecture allows
developers to bring highly integrated solutions to market, meeting
diverse needs.

Today, AMD’s embedded x86 solutions are being used to address
specialized needs within a variety of industries, including corporate
thin clients, ultramobile and tablet computing devices, set-top boxes,
storage appliances, and single board computer (SBC) applications such as
industrial automation equipment, information and medical appliances,
point-of-sale terminals and kiosks, and communications infrastructure.
The AMD Geode LX processor family offers the low power and high
performance that design engineers need to create a broad range of small
form factor solutions that take advantage of the extensive x86 software
base.

“AMD Geode LX processors help our customers offer choice, value and
differentiated solutions to meet critical needs within the commercial
and consumer markets they serve,” said Greg White, vice president of
AMD’s Embedded Computing Solutions Division. “We are seeing diverse
applications ranging from hosted thin clients to ultramobile PCs, thanks
to the flexibility and functionality of our x86 technology.”
The AMD Geode LX [email protected]* processor offers the highest performance per
watt solution available today in the 32-bit x86 industry, while
supporting increased memory bandwidth through a DDR interface and
enhanced I/O throughput with USB2.0. These features allow engineers to
design innovative products optimized with long battery life, compact and
fanless form factors, enhanced mobility and the high performance that
customers expect from AMD technology. With the ability to support
Windows XP, XP Embedded and Linux operating systems, this processor
family also provides simplified programming and a familiar user
environment for consumers’ convenience.

“Incorporating the AMD Geode LX processor into the Lippert
Hurricane-LX800 EPIC SBC was a simple decision given the combined
benefits of low power consumption and outstanding performance,” said
Peter Lippert, CEO, LiPPERT Embedded Computers. “The platform is
extremely simple to work with and we were able to bring our latest SBC
module to market quickly and easily.”
