Maybe the move is just as reaction to Dirk Meyers Talk Chief Architect to Reveal 'Performance Secrets of AMD's K7' BusinessWire, Tuesday, May 18, 1999 at 09:07 SEBASTOPOL, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 18, 1999--On June 10, 1999, Cahners MicroDesign Resources will host a dinner presentation by Dirk Meyer, chief architect of AMD's forthcoming K7 microprocessor, on the techniques that processor uses to achieve its leading-edge performance. The dinner will be held at the Westin hotel in Santa Clara and begins at 6:30 p.m. After years of following Intel's bus interfaces and chasing Intel's processor performance, AMD (NYSE:AMD) is breaking new ground with the K7. Meyer will discuss never-before-revealed details of the chip's internal architecture, explain the architectural tradeoffs his team made, and describe the features that are responsible for the chip's high performance. This is a rare opportunity to hear one of the industry's leading architects discuss the processor design that will determine AMD's fate in the PC processor market. The presentation will be followed by a question-and-answer session, giving attendees the opportunity to have Meyer address their particular concerns. Meyer is the director of engineering for AMD's K7 program. He joined AMD in 1995 from Digital Equipment Corporation where he was co-architect of the Alpha 21064 and 21264 microprocessors. He has 15 years of microprocessor design experience at AMD, Digital, and Intel, where he has been involved in the design of x86, Alpha, VAX, and embedded processors. The dinner fee is $99 per person and includes a reception before dinner, dinner, and presentation materials. To register, contact MDR at 800/527-0288, 707/824-4001, or on the Web at mdronline.com.
