KODE5’s roster of regional supporters grew once again today with the addition of AMD. Beginning as a small maker of semiconductors, AMD has grown into one of the world’s leading providers of high-performance CPUs. It award-winning Athlon® CPUs have powered some of the fastest gaming rigs on the planet, winning numerous awards for superior performance across a variety of applications. Today, AMD continues their strength in gaming performance with their Athlon 64 X2 AM2 CPU, which offers gamers a powerful yet affordable processor for all of their computing needs. Its dual-core architecture places two CPUs on a single chip, allowing the system to perform calculations on two streams of data, increasing efficiency and speed while running multiple programs. Like all Athlon 64-family CPUs, the Athlon 64 X2 AM2 CPU is optimized for both 64-bit and 32-bit applications, allowing for maximum performance and compatibility across a wide range of applications, and further future-proofing the system. AMD’s HyperTransport technology removes I/O bottlenecks, and a fully-integrated memory controller speeds up performance by allowing the CPU direct access to memory. Add to it AMD’s Enhanced Virus Protection, and outstanding multimedia performance, and the Athlon® 64 X2 AM2 CPU is the perfect CPU for the serious gamer.
“Gamers have known for years the performance that AMD CPUs bring to gaming. At AMD, we are dedicated to delivering products that are truly useful for our customers, which is why we’ve developed a series CPUs that deliver a tangible difference in gameplay,” says Vanoy Wong, the Vice President of AMD Great China Sales. “Supporting the KODE5 Global Gaming Revolution in China is a part of our continued efforts to support e-sports and its community. We wish all competitors the best of luck at KODE5 China, and the KODE5 Global Finals.”
“AMD’s support for our efforts to promote competitive gaming in China is another example of their commitment to the growth of e-sports around the world,” notes KODE5 Revolutionary-in-Command Lester Lau. “With the added clout of AMD on our side, KODE5 China and the KODE5 Global Finals will be fantastic events for gamers worldwide.”
