Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) released a new processor in its line of server chips Tuesday, adding the Athlon MP 2600+ to its product lineup, it said in a press release.
AMD offered few details about the new processor, which appears to offer a slight increase in the server processor's clock
speed with no new architectural features. AMD's previous top-of-the-line server processor, the Athlon MP 2400+, was just released a little less than two months ago.
AMD is embarking on a quest to gain market share among corporations that mostly use rival Intel's processors or proprietary
RISC (reduced instruction set computing) processors from companies such as Sun Microsystems or IBM. The forthcoming 64-bit
Opteron chip based on its new Hammer architecture is expected to help the Sunnyvale, Calif.-based company break into the market for
one-way and two-way servers running either Linux or Microsoft's Windows.
The processor will be priced at $273 in quantities of 1,000 units.
