WORLD-CLASS PERFORMANCE, TODAY AND TOMORROWAMD64 is the world’s first 64-bit, fully x86-compatible computing platform designed to handle the growing demands of our global, digital economy. Processors based on AMD64 technology run all of today’s software without compromising performance,plus run emerging 64-bit applications, allowing organizations to migrate to 64-bit gradually.

AMD64 was also designed from the ground up for multi-core computing, rather than just being “bolted on” to existing processor architectures.

INDUSTRY-LEADING PERFORMANCE-PER-WATT FOR SERVERS The Dual-Core AMD Opteron™ processor continues to set new performance standards. Available from leading equipment vendors such as HP, IBM, and Sun, the Dual-Core AMD Opteron processor is the force behind the world’s highest performingx86 servers and workstations and with the same CPU power requirements as our single-core processors.

TRUE MULTI-TASKING PERFORMANCE FOR DESKTOPSThe AMD Athlon™ 64 X2 dual-core processor smashes the hourglass on desktops and thin clients, delivering breakthroughperformance for users who need to run multiple applications simultaneously as well as for users who work on processing-intensivetasks.

AMD64 PROCESSORS FOR GOVERNMENT• AMD Opteron™ processor — leading performance-per-watt for servers and workstations• AMD Athlon™ 64 X2 dual-core processor — true multi-tasking performance for processing-intensive desktop applications• AMD Athlon™ 64 processor — mainstream performance and 32- to 64-bit compatibility for desktops and notebooks• AMD Turion™ 64 mobile technology — outstanding multimedia performance for thin and light notebooks

INNOVATIONS THAT WORK FOR YOU

At AMD, we don’t believe in technology for technology’s sake. Instead, we focus on customer-centric innovation— new

technologies specifically designed to solve customers’ problems. That’s why AMD is the industry leader in developing

crucial technologies that are driving datacenters to new levels of efficiency while meeting the demands of today’s complex

government computing environments.

“The AMD Opteron™ processor with

AMD64 technology was very compelling

for us, because it allows us to boost

the performance of our current 32-bit

applications and simultaneously prepare

to migrate to 64-bit technology when we

are ready. This is a very alluring aspect

of AMD64 technology.”

THE GREEN GRID

AMD is a founding sponsor of The Green Grid, an open, global nonprofit

organization whose goals are supported by the EPA and the Alliance to

Save Energy. Members of The Green Grid seek to decrease the datacenter

and other IT facility energy usage patterns by sharing best practices in

datacenter operation, construction, and design.

OUR TECHNOLOGY SOLUTIONS SERVE YOUR NEEDS

AMD understands that government agencies face numerous challenges including keeping up to date with the latest technologies,

ensuring reliability of systems and services, doing more with less, addressing ongoing security issues, and efficiently connecting

citizens to the government services they need. But understanding the issues you face in the public sector is only one part of

the puzzle. What you really need is a technology provider that answers those challenges with relevant experience and proven

solutions. AMD can deliver.

EFFICIENCY AND PRODUCTIVITYAMD64 technologies help government agencies run smoothly, thanks to built-in efficiencies and exceptional performance. AMD canmake a difference by helping you smartly allocate business and technology resources.

The AMD Opteron™ processor is compatible with multiple x86 operating systems and hundreds of software applications— reducingenterprise infrastructure complexity and can even help to lower the total cost of ownership. AMD Opteron processors featureAMD PowerNow!™ technology with Optimized Power Management (OPM), which provides power-on-demand computing,resulting in optimal efficiency and helping you to maximize IT budgets.

And Mobile AMD Athlon™ 64 processors can help boost productivity by running notebooks faster and providing compatibility witha range of wireless technologies that let your employees work anytime, anywhere.

RELIABILITY IN A CRISISDual-core technologies can help increase uptime and manage thermal failures without shutting down CPUs. This is important when considering community, safety, and emergency response rates. AMD processors are designed to allow users to get online faster,and provide outstanding real-time voice, video, and text messaging. The AMD Athlon™ 64 X2 dual-core processor’s ability to dealwith multiple threads of information simultaneously can be crucial when computational demand may be increased.

ENSURING SECURITYAMD processors offer security with Enhanced Virus Protection* (EVP) that helps prevent the spread of certain malicious virusesand improve the integrity of office networks. This is a key aspect of protecting important and confidential data— especially when transferring sensitive personal data in various aspects of eGovernment.

With AMD dual-core processors, you can maintain exceptional system performance and security at the same time. They also enable you to protect your computers with antivirus/firewall software that runs in the background while running applications in the foreground.

* Enhanced Virus Protection (EVP) is only enabled by certain operating systems including the current versions of Microsoft® Windows®, Linux, Solaris and BSD Unix. After properly installing the appropriateoperating system release, users must enable the protection of their applications and associated files from buffer overrun attacks. Consult your OS documentation for information on enabling EVP. Contactyour application software vendor for information regarding use of the application in conjunction with EVP. AMD and its partners strongly recommend that users continue to use third party anti-virus softwareas part of their security strategy.

THE PERFORMANCE YOU NEED FOR eGOVERNMENTThe AMD Opteron™ processor with Direct Connect Architecture simplifies your network throughput challenges by deliveringhigh-performance server/workstation solutions for demanding 32- and 64-bit eGovernment applications. The AMD Opteronprocessor also supports single- and dual-core processing, which provides the flexibility to grow, adapt, and respond to thedynamic business environments of eGovernment applications.

For client and desktop solutions, AMD Athlon™ 64 processors support large amounts of memory to efficiently run mission-criticalapplications and operating systems— including Microsoft® Windows® XP Professional x64 Edition, Linux, and Sun™ Solaris™.
