If you want to Gear Up to an Online Gaming PC, you have to divide and conquer. Online games demand a lot from your computer, so you need to assign specific tasks to specific components inside your PC for best results. Your GPU handles all the graphics that make these games look amazing in the first place. Your CPU handles game logic, physics and everything else that makes it a computer. But what about all the network traffic that flies in and out of your PC to make your online games as amazing as they are? That's where Killer™ Xeno™ Pro comes in.

"Our successful integration of the AMD DTV team and technologies provides the foundation to strengthen our combined businesses and expands our technology portfolio as well, enabling Broadcom to provide superior service and technical support to our existing customers," said Dan Marotta, Senior Vice President & General Manager of Broadcom's Broadband Communications Group. "Two of our new DTV technology demonstrations at CES showcase higher integration and advanced functionality that provide our OEM partners with the ability to customize and differentiate their next generation products while lowering overall bill-of-material (BOM) cost and accelerating time-to-market."

With a heritage of providing advanced DTV functionality, including high performance CPUs, 3D graphics and networking connectivity, Broadcom will demonstrate a complete 120Hz AVC-connected TV platform that enables consumers to access Internet-based web sites, home network-based digital photos, music and videos, and video-on-demand (VoD) services that are integrated within the television. These advanced features offer consumers the ability to customize their TV viewing experience and provide new options for accessing video content. Based on the BCM3549 and BCM35421 DTV technology, this complete TV platform offers manufacturers design flexibility, integration and custom tuning, enabling them to customize and differentiate products while lowering overall BOM costs.

The company estimates that about one-third of the world's noncellular phone calls are completed over circuits that contain its chips.

Legerity expects to be the principle supplier of phone line chips to equipment makers who have won major contracts to revamp much of the phone equipment used in the United Kingdom. That four-year contract is expected to include the installation of 25 million new phone lines.

Legerity's corporate knowledge of the phone-equipment market goes back more than two decades to when the company was a division of Advanced Micro Devices Inc.

AMD sold the telecom division to a West Coast investment firm, Francisco Partners Management LLC, in 2000.

"PathScale's InfiniPath technology takes full advantage of the AMD Opteron processor with Direct Connect Architecture, directly connecting I/O, memory and processors with open-standard HyperTransport(TM) technology," said Pat Patla, director, server/workstation marketing, Microprocessor Solutions Sector for AMD (NYSE: AMD). "With over 20 AMD system partners now offering InfiniPath HTX adapters along with their AMD64 technology-based systems, there is clearly a strong market interest in this innovative new cluster interconnect solution."

InfiniPath leverages five important industry standards: HyperTransport, InfiniBand, OpenIB, MPICH and the AMD64 Direct Connect Architecture. InfiniPath connects to any standard InfiniBand 4X switch including those from Infinicon, TopSpin and Voltaire. InfiniPath will also support the OpenIB software stack providing full InfiniBand compliance. InfiniPath works with all AMD Opteron processors, but uniquely exploits Dual-Core AMD Opteron processor-based servers. InfiniPath implements a HyperTransport tunnel architecture enabling easier configurability on multiprocessor designs. With InfiniPath, applications deployed on Linux clusters can efficiently and reliably scale to thousands of nodes.
