Lenovo to deliver AMD-powered PCs

BANGALORE: AMD today announced its AMD64 technology is now available worldwide in a new line of professional desktop PCs from Lenovo.

The Lenovo 3000 J105 desktop, with a choice of AMD Athlon 64 or AMD Sempron processors, offers leading-edge performance to small and mid-sized businesses worldwide, and is expected to be available broadly in various international markets, including the United States, Canada, Mexico, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Russia, Australia, New Zealand and Southeast Asia.

Today's announcement builds on the considerable success AMD and Lenovo have shared over the past two years in China, where approximately 50 percent of

Lenovo's desktop systems are powered by AMD processors.

Lenovo was one of the first PC manufacturers to launch AMD Sempron processor-based

systems, which were well received in China for users looking for a PC with performance and features designed to address their daily home and business computing needs.

“Today's launch is yet another proof-point of the strong commitment between AMD and Lenovo to provide innovative solutions to address the needs of an increasing base of consumer and business customers and is another example of AMD's growing leadership in the commercial marketplace,” said Marty Seyer, senior vice president, commercial business and performance computing, AMD.

“With AMD processors, we're able to meet a real demand among commercial users who are looking for simplified, affordable computing, helping small business customers focus on the parts of their business operations that they need to, instead of worrying about their computer

systems,” added Steve Petracca, vice president, Lenovo.

Targeted at small to mid-sized business users, the AMD-powered Lenovo 3000

J105 desktop will offer a choice for customers between AMD Athlon 64 or AMD

Sempron processors, which both offer the added security benefit of enhanced

virus protection.
