Wyse Leverages AMD's Embedded Solutions to Provide Next Generation Thin-Client
Platforms
AMD Geode? GX Processors to Power Wyse's High Performance, Low Power S Class
Thin Clients
CITRIX IFORUM - ORLANDO, Fla. (10/04/04) - Wyse Technology, the domain experts
in server-centric computing (SCC), announced today at the Citrix iForum
conference that the company has selected the AMD Geode? GX 533@xxxx and GX
466@xxxx processors* to power the next generation S class of Wyse® Winterm?
thin-client devices. The collaboration with AMD allows Wyse to offer
performance improvements at lower power in its latest compact and streamlined
family of thin-client designs.
The AMD Geode GX processor family is designed to provide the ideal combination
of low power consumption, excellent performance and small size. The application
flexibility provided by the Geode processor's integrated x86 architecture and
compact size helps facilitate the extremely small form factor in Wyse's S class
devices.
"We are pleased to extend our strategic relationship with AMD to drive
continued thin-client design and performance improvements," said Mike DeNeffe,
senior director of the Wyse Winterm line. "With a history of innovation and a
set of optimized processing capabilities, AMD is delivering a strong value
proposition into our latest designs."
The AMD Geode GX 533@xxxx and GX 466@.9W processors help enable the Wyse
Winterm S class devices deliver more than three times the processing
performance of predecessors with lower power usage and cooler operation within
a diminutive, fanless form factor.
"Wyse's new S class of Winterm thin-client solutions demonstrates the full
capabilities of the high-performance, low-power AMD Geode GX product family,"
said Erik Salo, AMD's director of marketing for the Personal Connectivity
Solutions Group. "The Wyse development team was able to leverage the Geode
processor's performance capabilities to create a new line of thin-client
solutions that support greater functionality without compromising performance."
AMD sees potential in the x86 architecture becoming a viable solution for
nearly every device category, extending from low-power consumer electronics
through high-end enterprise servers. The inherent, seamless integration and
ability to run existing applications of a universal, x86 architecture has
tremendous benefits for hardware and software developers, and provides new
opportunities for growth by giving end-users easier access to powerful
technologies.
* The Geode GX 533@xxxx processor operates at 400MHz and is supported by the
AMD Geode GX DB533 development board. The Geode GX 466@.9W processor operates
at 333 MHz. Model numbers reflect performance as described here:
