AMD's Spider Platform On Linux?

Written by Michael Larabel in AMD on 19 November 2007 at 01:21 PM EST. 13 Comments

This morning AMD has introduced their new cutting-edge PC platform that's codenamed "Spider". The Spider platform consists of AMD's Phenom quad-core processors, ATI Radeon HD 3800 graphics, and the AMD 7-series chipsets. The AMD Phenom processors are quad-core and based upon Direct Connection Architecture with an embedded memory controller with DDR2-1066 support and shared L3 cache. More information on the new AMD Phenom processors and chipsets can be found in today's press release. In the near future we hope to share with you how well the AMD Spider platform performs under Linux and whether there's any compatibility troubles with their new AMD 790FX Chipset.
