TOKYO, Oct. 03, 2018 — Lea­ding semi­con­duc­tor test equip­ment sup­pli­er Advan­test Cor­po­ra­ti­on (TSE: 6857) has instal­led its 3,000th V93000 Smart Sca­le test sys­tem for use by its long-term cus­to­mer AMD, in eva­lua­ting AMD  Ryzen™, AMD Rade­on™ and AMD EPYC™ com­pu­te, gra­phics and data cen­ter products.

“Our two com­pa­nies enjoy a long-stan­ding col­la­bo­ra­ti­on that enables AMD to deli­ver lea­ding tech­no­lo­gy solu­ti­ons, so it’s very fit­ting that this mile­stone sys­tem is being rea­ched with AMD,” said Cor­bett Zabie­rek, seni­or direc­tor, Pro­cu­re­ment and Sourcing, AMD.  “We uti­li­ze hundreds of Advan­test V93000 tes­ters to eva­lua­te next-gene­ra­ti­on tech­no­lo­gy and dri­ve cost-effi­ci­en­cy impro­ve­ments in volu­me pro­duc­tion of our lea­ding-edge inte­gra­ted cir­cuit technologies.”

“The V93000 Smart Sca­le sys­tems deli­vers both high per­for­mance and a low cost of test, making it the lea­ding test solu­ti­on for high-end com­pu­ting, gra­phics and machi­ne-lear­ning devices,” said Hans-Juer­gen Wag­ner, exe­cu­ti­ve vice pre­si­dent, ATE Busi­ness Group, Advan­test.  “Sin­ce its intro­duc­tion near­ly two deca­des ago, our sca­lable V93000 Plat­form has con­ti­nuous­ly gene­ra­ted mar­ket wins among lea­ding digi­tal semi­con­duc­tor pro­vi­ders around the world and expan­ded our pre­sence into the top auto­mo­ti­ve, ana­log and mixed-signal semi­con­duc­tor companies.”

With its test­ing effi­ci­en­cy and cost effec­ti­ve­ness, the V93000 Smart Sca­le sys­tem pro­vi­des the right mix of capa­bi­li­ties to help cus­to­mers get to mar­ket fas­ter with their newest pro­ducts for appli­ca­ti­ons inclu­ding cloud ser­vers and high-reso­lu­ti­on gam­ing gra­phics.  The fle­xi­ble plat­form is desi­gned to meet the full ran­ge of com­plex digi­tal-test requi­re­ments, from 7‑nm design rules to 32-Gbps data rates and bey­ond. Digi­tal cards are com­ple­men­ted with high cur­rent power sup­pli­es, which offers best-in-class load step respon­se per­for­mance for high-cur­rent cores and mul­ti-power domains.

About AMD

For more than 45 years, AMD has dri­ven inno­va­ti­on in high-per­for­mance com­pu­ting, gra­phics and visua­liza­ti­on tech­no­lo­gies — the buil­ding blocks for gam­ing, immersi­ve plat­forms and the data cen­ter.  Hundreds of mil­li­ons of con­su­mers, lea­ding For­tu­ne 500 busi­nesses and cut­ting-edge sci­en­ti­fic rese­arch faci­li­ties around the world rely on AMD tech­no­lo­gy dai­ly to impro­ve how they live, work and play.  AMD employees around the world are focu­sed on buil­ding gre­at pro­ducts that push the boun­da­ries of what is pos­si­ble.  For more infor­ma­ti­on about how AMD is enab­ling today and inspi­ring tomor­row, visit the AMD (Nasdaq: AMD) web­site, blog, Face­book and Twit­ter pages.
