AMD and Microsoft collaborate to further 64-bit computing

Monday, 06 May, 2002

AMD has announced it is collaborating with Microsoft to incorporate 64-bit support for the future 8th-generation AMD Athlon and Opteron processors into the Windows operating system.

Server applications such as databases, business intelligence, data warehousing and ERP programs, as well as client applications for image manipulation, technical and scientific computing, and entertainment can benefit from 64-bit computing power.

Microsoft is currently developing support within its Windows operating system family to use the features in the 8th-generation Athlon and Opteron processors.
