Broadcom announces that they have successfully integrated the AMD DTV team into their company, and the result will be a CES demo of their new DTV technology. A 120Hz AVC TV platform will be shown that allows net access, network photo access, music, video, and VOD. I hope to see this at CES in action. "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. |

Neterion and AMD Team to Establish New 10 Gigabit Ethernet Performance Record
CUPERTINO, Calif.--June 28, 2005--
Neterion's Xframe II Adapters Running on Servers Equipped with Dual-Core AMD Opteron Processors First in Industry to Reach Full 10 GbE Line Rate Speeds
Today Neterion Inc., an industry leader in the 10 Gigabit Ethernet adapter market, announced that Xframe(R) II, an adapter based on the PCI-X 2.0 bus architecture with Double Date Rate technology, used AMD Opteron(TM) processors to set a new record for network bandwidth.
The performance testing was conducted and monitored in AMD's performance labs in Austin, TX. Uni-directional traffic sustained a level of ~9.86 Gigabits per second, virtually reaching the nominal line-rate of 10 Gigabit Ethernet, to easily eclipse the earlier record of ~7.7 Gbps held by Neterion. At ~14.5 Gbps, bi-directional traffic rates nearly doubled the previous number. |

"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. |
