The x86 Advantage - Time-to-Market

• 91 Million units shipped in ‘97

• Multiple x86 vendors spawns competitive pricing

• Volume supports technology investment that subsidizesembedded processors

• High speed cores available

– Frequencies now above 300 MHz

– Performance superior to RISC

• Shrinking geometry

– Lower and lower power

– Packaging advances


8

The x86 Advantage - Time-to-Market• Fuels new technologies

– PCI, USB, 1394, AGP, 3DX etc.

• Advances new memory architectures– RDRAM, SDRAM, EDO– High-speed SRAM

• Large number of HW and SW engineersfamiliar with the x86 architecture– Easier to hire, replace

• Industry’s unquestioned leading tool programs– $2B self-sustaining annual investment– Unmatched quality


9

The x86 Advantage - Time-to-Market

• High code density– 25-40% better than RISC

• Less RAM/ROM so lower system cost• Higher cache hit rate than RISC with same cache size

• 16-, 32- and 64-bit families– Same software base for wide range of

performance

• Capitalizes on Microsoft OS dominance• Millions of lines of code validate silicon• Future growth path


10

AMD Advantages in Embedded x86

• Embedded market focus for over 18 years– Strong knowledge of embedded development

needs

• Continuous innovation in 16- and 32-bit families– Lower system cost through integration– Best 186 class price/performance

• Highest performance with commodity memories

– Best 486 price/performance– AMD-K6™ processor migration path and support

for embedded


11

AMD E86 Family Strategyfor Embedded• Embedded market focus for PC CPU core and

technology investment– Ensure long term support and availability for CPUs– Leverage PC standards for embedded market

• Create 16- and 32-bit platforms using x86 cores– Integrate market specific peripherals– Use latest process and design technology

• Enable quick time-to-market– Tool environment, robust debugging– Evaluation boards, design examples
