AMD backs Stac
CHIP MAKER AMD has thrown some of the money it hasn't got at the Securities Technology Analysis Center (STAC).
Stac said AMD had made a "multi-year commitment" to the Stac Lab and bunged it a few severs running quad-core Opterons.
Trading firms will apparently now be able to fiddle with these beasties and test them using "official" Stac Benchmarks.
The chip firm has become an official Innovation Sponsor for the Manhattan-based Stac Lab and a member of the Stac Benchmark Council.
Stac conducts research into the latest technology stacks of interest to the capital markets industry. As a sponsor, AMD will provide the lab with its latest products for testing securities industry workloads such as market data, analytics and execution.
Stac hasn't got anything to the do with the data compression company annihilated by Microsoft back in the 80s. µ

Why would AMD have no money? Does that mean that all house-owners with a lone are in trouble too? Don't think so, AMD is doing it's thing for like 40 years now and their balance has always been the same. Strange that people have such short memory. AMD is doing just fine and invests where it should invest. They have always done it this way and simply works. BTW, "Annalists" have always picked on AMD no matter how good or bad they are dong. But Intel is unable to do bad with them...explain that...
Is AMD still making CPUs, and when will we see an AM3 socketed motherboard. I'm still using a socket 939 system and I'm waiting waiting waiting still waiting waiting, shot should I go Intel, waiting waiting waiting ...........
