Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) has announced the transition to 65nm process technology, beginning with the instant availability of energy-efficient AMD Athlon 64 X2 dual-core desktop processors.

This move to 65nm process technology will enable AMD to make more processors on a 300mm wafer, for amplified production capacity, while continuing to uncompromisingly scale performance and reduce power consumption.

Bob Brewer, corporate vice president, Desktop Division, AMD said “Customers continue “With AMD’s established leadership in desktop and server performance-per-watt, both businesses and consumers can benefit greatly from our energy-efficient AMD Athlon 64 X2 dual-core processors to demand solutions that focus on low-power consumption and quieter operation. AMD is responding by increasing manufacturing efficiency to deliver on the next generation of energy-efficient desktop processors, enabling OEMS to innovate using highly reliable AMD64 processors and without compromising performance.”

AMD hopes to be fully converted to 65nm production at Fab 36 by Mid-2007. This will allow OEMS offering systems to experience responsive and amazing high-resolution 3D visual effects of Microsoft Windows. Acer, Dell, Founder, Gateway, HP, Lenovo, Packard Bell, and TongFang will also take advantage of the next gen of energy-efficient computing with 65nm technology transition.
