Asia has become the first battlefield AMD "dual core" enclosure

Although the launch of the PC dual core processor are rivals, but in April 21st 10, the name of AMD (NYSE cardiac AMD) trademark server and PC dual core processor appeared in the United States, and IBM, clearly support the HP, SUN and other heavyweight partners, AMD CEO Hector Ruiz is at the bottom of gas.

This latest outbreak of war CPU spread rapidly, in May 11th, the world's first for servers and workstations for enterprise computing platform - x86 dual core AMD dual core Opteron processors officially released in China market, Asia ablaze.

Asia became the first battlefield

Dual core Opteron technology will open up a new growth path for the calculation of PC, AMD in China performance is expected in 2005 will get double growth. AMD vice president and President of Greater China, Guo Kezun said: for personal computers Athlon 64 X2 dual core processor will be listed in the domestic market in June, AMD will also get more market share."

China as the representative of the Asian market has become the most important part of the ecological chain AMD. Data from third parties show that as the fastest growing market, the current revenue from China has accounted for AMD of total revenue of 16%.

Back to the AMD dual core processor released a month ago, Hector Ruiz all the way to run in Singapore, China, Japan and Taiwan, China, and actively promote its Asian layout.

At the beginning of 2005, AMD Singapore's largest chip maker (Chartered Semiconductor Manufacturing Ltd. chartered) as the latest AMD 90 nanometer process (64 processors) on behalf of the factory, after Germany AMD Dresden plant put into operation this year, is expected to begin in 2006 generation production AMD processor.

Then, in March announced a $100 million investment in Suzhou test package factory opened. The new plant in Suzhou mainly for testing packaged AMD seventh generation processor, is expected in the third quarter of 2005 began testing eighth generation 64 bit processor, then AMD chip supply from mainland suppliers will be fully realized "Chinese made". Since then, Hector Ruiz then transferred to Japan to meet senior Fujitsu Corporation, located in Japan Aizu - Wakamatsu, JV1, JV2 and JV3 three joint chip factory for AMD's Asian strategy is equally important. Hector Ruiz Asia tour last station is Chinese Taiwan, there has been actively seeking cooperation partners for UMC Taiwan wafer predators as well as many ODM customers and other important chip combination via, sis.

Solomon Smith (SALOMON SMITH BARNEY) Beijing chief representative Li He believes that "can achieve a 64 bit dual core war winning position in 2006, China market is essential to compete for AMD. Catch the new specifications in the Intel before the maturity of greater market share, AMD must do in 2005."

Li He pointed out that AMD is still unable to capture Intel "friend" DELL product orders, if the loss of advantage will undoubtedly make AMD specifications, OEM orders more unfavorable.

Constructing AMD ecological chain"

Mercury Research earlier this month released data show that in 2005 the global PC processor market at the end of the first quarter, AMD's share of 16.9%, Intel market share of 81.7%, only less than 2% of the share by via and Transmeta share.

AMD market share increased by 15% percentage points compared with the same period last year, nearly two percentage points, Athlon 64 and Opteron server chip market share continued to grow is a key contribution." Li He said. He believes that, in order to break through the AMD, it must be in the next battle for the dual core processor aimed at Intel market share. He pointed out that "the key lies in its winning Intel, to build a huge ecological chain of a top-down OEM OEM manufacturers and related. Therefore, AMD must also use its current 64 bit computing technology and the advantages of dual core products, and strive to seek more partners into their own ecosystem."
