AMD heeft bekend gemaakt dat het voor de SolidWorks World 2001 conferentie, die deze week plaatsvindt in Orlando, een groot aantal Athlon workstations heeft laten aanrukken. De samenwerking met SolidWorks maakt deel uit van AMD's strategie om ingang te vinden in de lucratieve high-end server en workstation markt. De SolidWorks conferentie geeft AMD een uitstekende gelegenheid om deze strategie te profileren voor een publiek van designers, engineers en andere partijen die gebruik maken van SolidWorks software. Op de beursvloer worden dertig Athlon workstations gedemonstreerd, waaronder machines van MaxVision, U-Tron en Xi:
ORLANDO, FL--February 12, 2001--At the third annual SolidWorks World 2001 Conference, AMD announced today that it is demonstrating 30 workstations at 1GHz and faster powered by the AMD Athlon™ processor. SolidWorks World 2001, which runs February 11-14, 2001, brings together designers, engineers, managers, and partners to discuss ideas, trends and the technology shaping the future of mechanical design.
As one of four overall SolidWorks Solution partners, AMD works closely to promote reliability and compatibility with AMD Athlon processor-based platforms and the optimization and tuning of SolidWorks software for better performance and stability.
"SolidWorks, in combination with the AMD Athlon processor, offers professionals an excellent CAD solution," said Antony Hervo, Hardware Partner manager for SolidWorks Corporation. "The power and ease of use of SolidWorks software combined with the performance of the AMD Athlon processor help engineers and designers bring better quality products to market faster. In addition, the close relationship between SolidWorks and AMD ensures a high level of compatibility and reliability."
"AMD is strategically working closely with SolidWorks to assure users have a compatible, stable, high performance environment with which to do their CAD/CAM design work," says Ned Finkle, director of AMD's Infrastructure Enablement Group. "We're confident that SolidWorks users will benefit from high-speed architectures like the AMD Athlon processor with support for DDR memory."
