AMD har vist verden de første funktionelle resultater af dens nye VirtuaHammer teknologi, som skal gøre det muligt at udnytte AMDs nye SledgeHammer processor 100%, når den forventes lanceret engang i 1. halvår af 2002.
AMD is approaching both LinuxWorld events with great optimism as the company, along with Linux operating system vendor SuSE (www.suse.com),
reports the achievement of significant milestones in the open-source
community's efforts to port Linux to AMD's x86-64 technology. The x86-64
technology extends the x86 instruction set to enable 64-bit computing and is
the backbone behind AMD's planned 64-bit processor family, code-named
"Hammer." AMD's "Hammer" family is planned for commercial introduction in
the first half of 2002.
