Computer processor manufacturer AMD is developing a new standard for motherboards it hopes will lead to smaller, quieter, energy-efficient desktop computers
AMD, which is based in California, unveiled the new open standard, called DTX, at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.DTX will work with both AMD and rival Intel processors and will allow manufacturers of smaller motherboards to easily configure parts from different companies.AMD hopes the move will reverse the declining market for desktop computers by producing products that appeal to consumers."Desktop purchases are on the decline as notebooks rise," AMD's Leslie Sobon told CBC News Online at the CES on Thursday.
"We're thinking we should redefine what a desktop is," said Sobon, the director of product and brand management for AMD's desktop division.
