Phoenix Technologies and Advanced Micro Devices said Tuesdaythey plan to jointly develop software and products for desktop and mobile computers that use AMD's microprocessors, core logic, peripherals, and NIC functions.
The agreement expands an existing relationship, under which San Jose, Calif.-based Phoenix has directly supported AMD's ICs. The two companies said the new pact will extend their presence in the desktop and portable PC marketplace as well as eventually provide software and products for powerful servers and workstation systems based on AMD's K7 microprocessors. Plans are also set to support networking, telecommunications, and industrial control-system designs based on AMD's semiconductor offerings.
"Our relationship with Phoenix allows us to continue offering the most innovative system hardware and software solutions to our mutual customers," said Ned Finkle, director of infrastructure technology and development at AMD, in Sunnyvale, Calif.
The new expanded agreement will enable AMD chip customers to launch new products using the K7 processor. "It also provides a framework for joint development on future technologies and standards," said Laurent Gharda, vice president of marketing.
