AMD Enters 802.11 Wireless Market
Advanced Micro Devices said it plans to offer its own twist on the "Calexico" wireless chipset currently being developed by Intel Corp.
AMD's Alchemy division, a design firm with embedded and wireless expertise the company purchased earlier this year, said it is working on a Am1772 wireless LAN chipset and complementary min-PCI card, which the firm will sample this month and produce early next year.
"Collaborating with our customers and identifying their needs led our design team to create the remarkably innovative Am1772 chipset and a mini-PCI card reference design kit, a high-integration, low-power, high-performance solution," said Dr. William Edwards, AMD's vice president and general manager for the Personal Connectivity Solutions Group, in a statement. "This will be AMD's bold first step into the wireless market, and the first of several wireless products we plan to introduce over the next 12 months."
