Phoronix: "On the same day that we learn VIA's Linux support is basically dead and after a troubling week for Intel with regards to open-source graphics support for their new Sandy Bridge CPUs, Advanced Micro Devices has released open-source graphics driver support for their AMD Radeon HD 6000 series of graphics cards."

Softpedia: "Nvidia and Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), the two major companies specialized in programmable graphics processor technologies, released a couple of days ago new and improved versions of their video drivers for Linux systems, available for both x86 and x86_64 architectures."

Computerworld: "Advanced Micro Devices on Tuesday announced inexpensive desktop microprocessors with up to six cores to put pricing pressure on rival Intel."

ServerWatch: "Advanced Micro Devices today announced its latest Opteron processor, the 4100 family, aimed at the mid-market concerned with power efficiency and performance per watt.

It fills out the Opteron server line just below the eight- and 16-core "Magny-Cours" line for high-end users."

Hardware Central: "Advanced Micro Devices plans to release a processor in its "Fusion" line that will be positioned for the netbook market, putting it in competition with the Intel Atom, and, to a lesser degree, the ARM processor."

Advanced Micro Devices stole a bit of market share away from rival Intel in graphics add-on cards during the second quarter, a report revealed Wednesday.

In total, graphics card sales rose slightly from the previous quarter, but still fell sharply from a year ago.

Advanced Micro Devices is preparing to launch its "Magny-Cours" Opteron 6000-series processor for servers during the first quarter of 2010, an AMD executive said Monday.

Advanced Micro Devices has quietly cut prices on two of its high-end Phenom II X4 chips to counter Intel's own price cuts, a spokesman confirmed on Wednesday.
