AMD pitches Athlon 64 at Media Center PC makers

Zardon · May 28, 2004, 03:55 PM

AMD is trying persuade a number of PC makers, including HP and Gateway, to build its 64-bit processors into future Media Centre PCs instead of Intel's chips.

It also wants the likes Atari and Ubisoft to create 64-bit versions of their games and bundle them on such systems.

So said AMD Athlon 64 product manager John Crank in an interview with Reuters, and who are we to doubt him?

Or to be surprised by the comment. Of course AMD wants to see its processors incorporated into as broad a range of devices as possible, so it shouldn't shock anyone that it's attempting to persuade computer makers to buy its products.
