Chipmaker AMD has announced a major milestone in the development of its enterprise software ecosystem with the first public demonstration of its second-generation AMD Opteron X-Series APU, codenamed “Berlin,” running Fedora Linux at the Red Hat Summit 2014.
According to AMD this is an important development for companies looking to transition to x86 APU servers but who don’t want to introduce new tools and software platforms into the IT environments, so this demo represents a step forward in expanding the footprint of x86 APU accelerated performance within the data center.
