AMD's ATI Radeon HD Products Leverage Virage Logic's Embedded Memory IP

Posted on: Friday, 1 August 2008, 15:00 CDT

Virage Logic, a provider of semiconductor intellectual property for the design of complex integrated circuits, has announced that AMD ATI Radeon 4800 series graphics products leverage its advanced embedded memory IP for superior performance.

The relationship between AMD and Virage Logic provides AMD with access to Virage Logic's embedded memory IP offering to support graphics processors and other devices for 65-nanometer (nm) and 55nm processes and beyond.

The company said that both the ATI Radeon HD 3800 series and the recently introduced ATI Radeon 4800 series of graphics processing unit. AMD leveraged Virage Logic's embedded memory IP offering, including the Silicon Aware Self-Test and Repair (STAR) Memory System, to reduce test costs and optimize device yields at 65nm and 55nm process technologies.

Alex Shubat, COO of Virage Logic, said: "We couldn't be more pleased to partner with a leader in advanced semiconductor technologies like AMD. Our respect for their hardware solutions extends to our own operations, where we rely on the compute power of AMD Opteron processors in our server farm to drive the complex, ongoing processes of characterizing our broad portfolio of semiconductor IP products including our embedded memories, logic libraries and I/Os."
