AMD Technology Deployments Underway as Team Leans on APU-Based Touchscreen Solutions for Final All-Star Voting Push
SUNNYVALE, CA, Jun 26, 2012 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) --AMD (NYSE: AMD) today announced that Major League Baseball's (MLB)
San Francisco Giants selected AMD as a technology partner. The Giants
have recently installed 66 new AMD A-Series Accelerated Processing
Unit (APU)-based HP TouchSmart 320m All-In-One (AIO) touchscreen
systems at AT&T Park, which will be followed by deployments of other
AMD-powered systems throughout the organization.
"Our technology partnership with the San Francisco Giants puts AMD in
a great position to showcase the role AMD technology can play to help
large organizations harness the trends around consumerization, the
Cloud and convergence to drive their business," said Lisa Su, senior
vice president and general manager, AMD Global Business Units. "From
powering the front office infrastructure to the luxury suite
experience at AT&T Park, AMD is ready to be a technology clean-up
hitter for the Giants and their fans."
The Giants are presently using AMD technology to empower fans at AT&T
Park to vote their favorite players into the National League's
starting line-up for the upcoming MLB All-Star game on July 10. AIO
desktops with touchscreens in all of the ballpark suites will be
linked to the online MLB All-Star ballot allowing fans to quickly
vote for their favorite Giants players.
"We are excited to have AMD power the technology behind the team,"
said Bill Schlough, chief information officer, San Francisco Giants.
"Much like the Giants, AMD is committed to innovation. We believe AMD
technology will position the Giants to build upon our winning on the
field while continuing to deliver the ultimate fan experience at AT&T
Park."
In addition to the AIO desktops in the luxury suites, the Giants
front office will standardize on AMD-based desktops and notebooks
over the course of the three-year agreement. The Giants also plan to
install AMD Opteron(TM)-based servers in their data centers where
appropriate.
