AMD Makes Breakthrough into Flagship Commercial PC Families of Major Vendors

AMD-based com­mer­cial solu­ti­ons from lea­ding PC ven­dors address cus­to­mer and resel­ler demand for grea­ter choice in busi­ness environments

Fleet, 23 Octo­ber 2014 – AMD (NYSE: AMD) today announ­ced it is see­ing signi­fi­cant growth in demand for AMD-tech­no­lo­gy-based com­mer­cial sys­tems, as they deli­ver the right mix of com­pu­ting and gra­phic expe­ri­en­ces requi­red by com­mer­cial users in the modern work­force. Major PC ven­dors inclu­ding Acer, HP, and Leno­vo are now offe­ring AMD-based com­mer­cial desk­top and note­book solu­ti­ons in respon­se to the demand for more choice from busi­ness and public sec­tor customers.

Lea­ding PC and sys­tem ven­dors are incre­asing­ly con­side­ring AMD opti­ons and the bene­fits AMD APUs can bring to their busi­ness,” said James Black­man, com­mer­cial chan­nel mana­ger EMEA at AMD. “That’s having a real impact and some very lar­ge and well-known orga­ni­sa­ti­ons have alre­a­dy cho­sen AMD tech­no­lo­gy. End-users in both the com­mer­cial and public sec­tors are well awa­re of the poten­ti­al per­for­mance and cost advan­ta­ges that AMD pro­ces­sors offer today; some­thing that chan­nel part­ners and sys­tems ven­dors can’t afford to ignore.”

The company’s pro­ces­sors have been pla­ced at the heart of Acer’s Veri­ton pro­fes­sio­nal ran­ge of desk­top and thin cli­ent solu­ti­ons, the new HP Eli­te 700 series fami­ly of busi­ness lap­tops and desk­tops, and the Leno­vo Think­Cent­re M79 mini tower desk­top, the Leno­vo Think­Pad E545 and E555 and. The­se are just few recent examp­les of many new sys­tem fami­lies that are now being released fea­turing AMD’s high per­for­mance, power-saving pro­ces­sor technologies.

The HP Eli­te 700 series are the first pro­ducts to fea­ture AMD PRO A‑Series APUs which are ide­al for busi­ness, deli­ve­ring long-term value com­mer­cial enter­pri­ses can depend on inclu­ding a 24-month life­cy­cle as well as secu­ri­ty and mana­gea­bi­li­ty fea­tures built on open standards.

This inno­va­ti­ve pro­ces­sor tech­no­lo­gy from AMD will enable a new class of powerful, sleek and sophisti­ca­ted com­mer­cial Win­dows® PCs that inte­gra­te seam­less­ly into an exis­ting IT environment.

With impres­si­ve per­for­mance, the AMD PRO A‑Series APUs with HSA fea­tures unlocks true busi­ness com­pu­ting per­for­mance and deli­vers out­stan­ding relia­bi­li­ty and manageability.

Enter­pri­ses and mid-mar­ket cus­to­mers don’t just want choice – they expect it. AMD gives us the oppor­tu­ni­ty to offer a very distinct and dif­fe­rent set of choices and enables cus­to­mers to purcha­se the best sys­tems for their busi­ness,” said Loay Law­rence, com­mer­cial and mar­ke­ting direc­tor at UK cor­po­ra­te resel­ler Voh­kus. “With the new AMD PRO A‑Series APU-based solu­ti­ons available in mar­ket from major PC ven­dors, AMD gives cus­to­mers choice and afforda­bili­ty to meet their spe­ci­fic busi­ness needs while hel­ping the chan­nel to win more busi­ness and gain more trust and loyal­ty from their end customers.”
