NVIDIA Supports AMD 64 X2 Processors

Filed under
Hardware

NVIDIA announced that their entire line of NVIDIA nForce media and communications processors for AMD64 platforms fully support the new AMD Athlon 64 X2 dual-core processor.

"Both NVIDIA and AMD are committed to developing technology innovations that have a dramatic impact on how our customers can take the utmost advantage of their hardware platforms," said Marty Seyer, corporate vice president and general manager, Microprocessor Solutions Sector, AMD. "With the launch of our new AMD Athlon 64 X2 dual-core processor and NVIDIA's continued growth in providing core-logic solutions, we are both excited about bringing new technology solutions to the market that will forever change the face of client computing."

NVIDIA has shipped more than eight million NVIDIA nForce MCPs for AMD64 platforms, including NVIDIA nForce4 and NVIDIA nForce3 MCPs for PCI-Express- and AGP-based platforms. In addition, the Company has seen continued sales momentum for its NVIDIA SLI solutions, resulting in hundreds of editorial awards for the Company's worldwide community of add-in card, motherboard, system integrators, and OEM partners. According to the most recent report by industry analyst firm Mercury Research, NVIDIA nForce MCPs now account for approximately 55 percent of the AMD64 market, an increase of seven percent over the previous calendar quarter.

"Our close collaboration with AMD has allowed us the ability to be proactive in the design and development of our NVIDIA nForce MCPs for AMD64-based PC platforms," said Drew Henry, general manager of platform business at NVIDIA. "AMD led the way with the transition to 64-bit computing and its new AMD Athlon 64 X2 dual-core processor will help dual-core capability to become pervasive for corporate, small business, and consumer platforms."

Consumers who already own an NVIDIA nForce4 or NVIDIA nForce3-based motherboard or PC and wish to harness the power of the new AMD Athlon 64 X2 dual-core processor need to contact their respective motherboard or PC manufacturer about specific support and BIOS updates.

It's good to see that just a BIOS update is enough to get the new chips working in older motherboards.

  • How To Install MongoDB on AlmaLinux 9 - idroot

    In this tutorial, we will show you how to install MongoDB on AlmaLinux 9. For those of you who didn’t know, MongoDB is a high-performance, highly scalable document-oriented NoSQL database. Unlike in SQL databases where data is stored in rows and columns inside tables, in MongoDB, data is structured in JSON-like format inside records which are referred to as documents. The open-source attribute of MongoDB as a database software makes it an ideal candidate for almost any database-related project. This article assumes you have at least basic knowledge of Linux, know how to use the shell, and most importantly, you host your site on your own VPS. The installation is quite simple and assumes you are running in the root account, if not you may need to add ‘sudo‘ to the commands to get root privileges. I will show you the step-by-step installation of the MongoDB NoSQL database on AlmaLinux 9. You can follow the same instructions for CentOS and Rocky Linux.

  • Self-host a Ghost Blog With Traefik

    Ghost is a very popular open-source content management system. Started as an alternative to WordPress and it went on to become an alternative to Substack by focusing on membership and newsletter. The creators of Ghost offer managed Pro hosting but it may not fit everyone's budget. Alternatively, you can self-host it on your own cloud servers. On Linux handbook, we already have a guide on deploying Ghost with Docker in a reverse proxy setup. Instead of Ngnix reverse proxy, you can also use another software called Traefik with Docker. It is a popular open-source cloud-native application proxy, API Gateway, Edge-router, and more. I use Traefik to secure my websites using an SSL certificate obtained from Let's Encrypt. Once deployed, Traefik can automatically manage your certificates and their renewals. In this tutorial, I'll share the necessary steps for deploying a Ghost blog with Docker and Traefik.
