AMD believes that invest on Windows, Android and Linux
After AMD announced desire to distance itself from the usual standoff with Intel, have been hotly debated future steps of the company. Recently, AMD stated that it did not share the position of Intel on operating systems, especially in the mobile market.
While Intel continues to invest in the development of open operating systems, AMD believes that market OS in General formed and invest in systems that do not occupy a portion of the market, it makes no sense: the existing system in the future will entirely meet users ‘ needs.
“Impossible to return the investment in operating systems except Linu Android and Windows 8, so it makes sense only in this threesome “,” said Senior Director of content and support applications on AMD’S Neal Robison (Neal Robison) in a brief interview resource X-bit labs.
Longtime main rival AMD, Intel, refused this year of promotion and support of developed together with Nokia MeeGo operating system in favor of the new platform Tizen to move which has joined Samsung. Tizen based operating system supports several architectures and is designed for installation on a wide range of devices, including smartphones, tablets, televisions, netbooks and harnesses for cars.
Tizen combines open technologies from the LiMo and Linux foundation alongside standards support Web environments for HTML5 and the WAC, which you can develop a truly cross-platform applications, independent of the device.
But according to AMD, there is no point in the financial cost and investment of resources in non-standard platform developers much wiser — concentrate on those systems that are already available and used by real users.
AMD reportedly journalists X-bit labs does not (at least officially), that the ARM even in the form of a 64-bit architecture ARMv8 can compete on the market, because the x 86 architecture more scalable in performance and in the field of policy support. However, AMD makes no predictions about market development.
Also, according to a recent interview, which gave Brian Slatteri (Brian Slattery) from AMD Edition of The Australian in January 2012, we will market the AMD ul-trabuk. Obviously, the company will not use the name “ul-trabuk” is the term coined to describe their ultra-slim, lightweight, energy efficient, but powerful laptops.
Apparently AMD negotiates with a number of manufacturers to create ultra fine laptops, and one of the models must be “very advanced”. Rumoured ultra AMD laptops will be based on the platform, which uses the updated Brazos 2.0 hybrid processor Zacate and Radeon HD Accelerator 7000.
