| Sabre Holdings |
| "We first decided to look at the AMD Opteron™ processor in part because it was competitively priced, and our hope was that the processor’s performance would be at least as good as that of our existing systems. However, we were blown away by the performance, finding that it significantly exceeded our expectations." |

| "“Encoding video is a very long process – full-length video content contains thousands of frames, and every frame contains a huge amount of information that needs to be processed to produce the best compression and visual quality,” says Rota. “Overall encoding time can take several hours. It’s a very time consuming process.”" |

| "Previously, researchers were limited by the speed with which ‘virtual screening’ of small molecule libraries was performed. With the AMD Athlon™ MP processor-based cluster, I can utilize parallel processing to work through myriad possibilities to eliminate the bad ones and find the best choice. We can perform a ‘virtual screen’ on 10,000 or more small molecules each day" |

| "With the right computer, such as one powered by an AMD Athlon™ XP processor, practically everything you need to make music can be combined in a single machine - synthesizers, drums, sample loops, vocal and guitar tracks. You can add effects like echo, delay and reverb or create effects no one has heard before. All this performance enables the end user to be creative in a way that was never before possible." |

| Tippett Studio |
| "We built some prototype desktop workstations powered by AMD Athlon™ MP processors. We had tried systems powered by a competitor's processors, and they worked fairly well. However, we absolutely preferred the performance of the AMD Athlon™ processor. A good part of the advantage comes from the performance of AMD's floating point engine, which is very important to compute-intensive operations such as rendering." |

| "I knew I wanted Linux on the desktop. I started looking for the best price/performance. We looked at AMD processor-based systems and found they did quite well. The systems we looked at from Angstrom Micro ran dual processors and ran them brilliantly. So we started examining the systems more carefully by running render and display evaluations, and the AMD Athlon™ MP processors were as fast as the competition. So we went and got a rack of AMD systems. My animators screamed for more." |
