Phil Hester Quotes

I have always been a fan of AMD's technology and design philosophies, going back to my early days at IBM... When AMD64 was first introduced, I knew right away it was something very special. It is an advanced technology, clearly focused on customer needs, with compatibility for existing software, and incredible scalability and extensibility. Because AMD64 technology was designed and optimized from the start for multi-core processing using its Direct Connect Architecture, we really have only scratched the surface of its true computing potential. That's very good news for all of our customers.
