Unlike other dual-core systems, migrating to dual-core processing based on
AMD64 technology can be seamless, thanks to a non-disruptive upgrade path.
Cluster computing users in particular will appreciate the availability of Wolfram Research's gridMathematica for
AMD64 that provides a smooth migration path from scalar 32-bit computing to parallel 64-bit computing.
"With the new
AMD64 processors, the computing industry is taking the next step toward to providing technology capable of delivering cinematic computing across all digital media platforms," said Dan Vivoli, executive vice president of marketing at NVIDIA.
About the VIA K8T800 Chipset The VIA K8T800 chipset is powering the next generation of
AMD64 compatible platforms, including Dual Opteron processor-based workstations and servers , and Athlon processor-based performance PC platforms.
"Combined with Think's customizable solutions, the
AMD64 architecture offers exceptional flexibility, performance, and scalability."
