AMD Strengthens Embedded Offerings with Graphics Chipset, Development Board
for Embedded Designers

Embedded Systems Conference, San Jose, Calif., 2 april 2007 - At the
Embedded Systems Conference this week, AMD (NYSE: AMD) announced the
continued expansion of its embedded product offerings with the release of
the AMD M690 Chipset for Embedded Designs, which provides a stable and
reliable commercial embedded computing platform that includes cutting-edge
graphics and performance features along with outstanding connectivity
options. Supporting the availability of the AMD M690 Chipset for Embedded
Designs, the company also announced the AMD Socket S1 and AMD M690 chipset
development board, for high-performance capabilities with a low power
envelope.

The AMD M690 chipset gives embedded system designers a choice when using the
leading-edge capabilities of AMD64 technology. The AMD solution boasts
graphics and enhanced video performance and numerous display and
connectivity options - key capabilities for next-generation thin client,
point of sale, gaming and single board computing systems, among others.

"It's our goal to deliver superior solutions to embedded designers that
encapsulate the best features available on the market", said Greg White,
vice president of AMD's Embedded Computing Solutions Division. "By adding
the AMD M690 chipset to our embedded offerings, AMD helps designers build
their projects with a packaged solution to best fit their needs, while
giving end customers the performance and computing power needed for their
unique environments."

The AMD Socket S1 and AMD M690 chipset development board capitalizes on the
scalable power and performance options of the AMD Turion(tm) 64, AMD
Turion(tm) 64 X2 Dual-Core and Mobile AMD Sempron(tm) processors, and serves
as a comprehensive evaluation and development platform for designers looking
to create small form factor or graphics-centric embedded solutions. In
addition to harnessing the graphics and video performance of the AMD 690
chipset, the board integrates PCI and PCI Express(r) expansion slots, USB
2.0, CRT/DVI/LVDS display options, high-definition audio, and gigabit
Ethernet onto a standard ATX form factor board to help speed time-to-market
for embedded client and single board computer designs.

Since the AMD 690 series launch on February 28, 2007, the chipsets are
designed to offer an exceptional experience in today's graphics and video
applications on an integrated platform. The great combination of AMD and
ATI's capabilities for the AMD 690 chipset is innovated to integrate
seamlessly with Windows Vista to handle the rich Aero user interface.
