NVIDIA Corporation
today
announced that the Company’s current and future line of NVIDIA nForce(TM)
media and communications processors (MCPs) will fully support the new AMD
Sempron(TM) processor family introduced earlier today for everyday computing.
Together with AMD, NVIDIA is ensuring that value-minded consumers can rely on
high quality and reliable desktop and mobile PC computing platforms powered by
AMD Sempron processors and NVIDIA nForce MCPs.
“NVIDIA nForce MCPs are designed to satisfy the needs for the markets AMD
is targeting with its AMD Sempron processors,” said Drew Henry, general
manager of platform business at NVIDIA. “We believe we have the perfect
core-logic solution for every product- and price-band of the new AMD Sempron
processor family. From NVIDIA nForce2 to NVIDIA nForce3 to our new PCI-Express
products that are scheduled to appear later this year, those interested in a
great value proposition need to look no farther than motherboards and PCs
based on NVIDIA nForce and AMD Sempron processor solutions.”
NVIDIA has NVIDIA nForce MCPs for all flavors of the AMD Sempron processor
family, including all AGP and PCI Express variants-NVIDIA nForce2 IGP for
462-pin/AGP; NVIDIA nForce3 250 for 754-pin/AGP; and next-generation NVIDIA
nForce MCPs for 939-pin/PCI-Express designs. NVIDIA nForce2 IGP and NVIDIA
nForce3 250 MCPs are available now, while next-generation PCI Express
technology are scheduled to be available later this year in time for AMD
Sempron market availability.
“AMD is redefining everyday computing by delivering the right combination
of performance, features and reliability in our AMD Sempron processor,” said
Marty Seyer, corporate vice president and general manager of AMD’s
Microprocessor Business Unit, Computation Products Group. “AMD and NVIDIA are
working together to serve the growing market of value-conscious buyers who
want more from their PC while at home, in the office, or on the go.”
