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将新的Sempron处理器的定位在“everyday computing ”上，这个“everyday computing ”说的可谓是恰到好处，不但涵盖了目前市场上Duron的市场定位也涵盖了Athlon XP的市场定位，同时也不排除将来A64降价到中高端的可能。而其面向的“value-conscious buyers ”也正是目前选择Duron以及AthlonXP的用户群。

    “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.”

    在应用层面上，面向于“home and office productivity applications ”的Sempron处理器不但能够满足消费者的需求，而且重新定义了日常运算（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.

    这种“日常运算”的概念包括什么呢？AMD为我们诠释了这一切，所谓“日常运算”不但包括通常的收发邮件，浏览网页，下载音乐等操作，还包括对系统要求更高的图片处理，网页制作，以及其他更高要求的办公软件的应用。

    “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处理器能够让他们做出满足全部用户需求的电脑，从家用到商用，从娱乐到游戏，Sempron让所有的问题得以整合。而采用Sempron处理器的HP Pavilion 以及Compaq Presario也将在今年晚些时候上市。

    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.”

    联想，作为这次和AMD同步发行产品的唯一的一家内地企业，能够和AMD一起发布新产品，证明了他们雄厚的实力。

“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.
