AMD Displays Technology Leadership With New AMD Xilleon(TM) Panel Processors for Outstanding LCD TV Image Quality



    AMD (NYSE:AMD) today unveiled a new family of AMD Xilleon(TM)
    panel processors designed to provide unrivaled visual quality in
    liquid crystal display (LCD) digital TVs. AMD´s new panel processors
    deliver advanced motion compensation and frame rate conversion
    technology for excellent image processing, resulting in a rich,
    immersive entertainment experience.

    "The visual experience now defines the user experience. We are
    committed to helping manufacturers deliver crystal clear ´20/20
    television´ to a growing mainstream market of digital TV consumers
    worldwide, enabling The Ultimate Visual Experience," said Dave Di
    Orio, corporate vice president and general manager, AMD´s DTV
    division. "AMD is driving innovation and design efficiencies with
    outstanding technology in highly integrated, flexible AMD Xilleon
    processor solutions, which now span from TV motherboards to display
    panels."

    As consumers demand ever-larger TVs with greater visual clarity,
    such as that offered by full high-definition (1080p) technology, the
    appearance of picture defects such as blurred motion, or jerky
    movements referred to as "film judder," can detract from the viewing
    experience and leave consumers dissatisfied with their TV purchase.
    This trend toward larger TVs, coupled with the global transition to
    digital TV broadcasts starting with the U.S. in early 2009, has
    significantly increased the importance of DTV visual quality.

    To help LCD TV manufacturers deliver a superior visual experience,
    the new AMD Xilleon 410, 411, 420 and 421 panel processor family is
    designed to provide unrivaled picture quality up to full HD
    resolution, with design flexibility to enable TV brand
    differentiation, and unprecedented system integration to help reduce
    manufacturing costs. This advanced technology has been chosen by
    Samsung, the world´s largest provider of thin-film-transistor, liquid
    crystal displays (TFT-LCD), for their patented 120Hz Motion
    Compensated Frame Interpolation (McFi(TM)) solution.

    "AMD Xilleon panel processors customized with Samsung proprietary
    McFi technology are enabling us to set what is essentially a new
    industry standard for crystal clear television picture quality," said
    Sang Soo Kim, Ph.D., executive vice president and Samsung fellow,
    Samsung Electronics. "Working closely with AMD helps us maintain our
    leadership position in supplying superior panel solutions to our
    valued customers."

    AMD Xilleon panel processors offer motion compensation and frame
    rate conversion based on AMD´s enhanced phase-plane correlation
    technology, supporting high-quality visual processing for 100Hz/120Hz
    LCD TVs up to full HD resolution. The key is the processor´s ability
    to identify incoming 24Hz/60Hz film and video signals and convert them
    to 120Hz by determining motion between picture frames and
    intelligently creating additional content frames to represent that
    "in-between" motion with exceptional clarity. To provide greater
    flexibility for manufacturers to customize their TVs, these AMD panel
    processors offer a high degree of programmability and can be
    integrated into the LCD panel subsystem or TV motherboard.

    Mitsubishi MZW series 120Hz LCD TVs, which are based on Samsung´s
    McFi solution and the AMD Xilleon panel processor, are available in
    three panel sizes in Japan. Other leading TV manufacturers are
    expected to adopt AMD Xilleon panel processors in early 2008.

    About AMD Xilleon Processors

    AMD is a leading provider of technology to many of today´s popular
    TV brands, since its acquisition of the former ATI Technologies in
    late 2006. In addition to the new AMD Xilleon panel processors for LCD
    film and video processing, the AMD Xilleon brand includes a family of
    system-on-chip (SOC) solutions that combine digital and analog signal
    reception, graphics, picture processing, video decoding and multimedia
    for digital television. AMD Xilleon processor SOC solutions are
    currently used by such leading manufacturers as Samsung, Mitsubishi
    and Westinghouse.
