SUNNYVALE, Calif.--Advanced Micro Devices plans to stretch its capabilities over the next few years, believing that flexibility will be a key part of its designs over the rest of the decade.

AMD on Thursday laid out plans to serve 30 percent of the market within the next two years, with new quad-core processor designs scheduled for 2007 and an acceleration of its manufacturing capabilities.

The company also talked about plans to build future processors with the ability to mix and match the building blocks of a chip to cater to different needs, and to allow its partners to add co-processors that can link directly to Opteron processors through AMD's Hypertransport links.

Executives speaking to analysts and press at the company's headquarters here sought to maintain the momentum AMD has enjoyed over the last three years, gaining market share in important markets and giving Intel fits. "We want to open up our technology and unleash a completely new wave of innovation," said Hector Ruiz, CEO of AMD.

The chipmaker plans to license its Hypertransport technology to allow customers and third-party chipmakers to build specialized processors and other chips that can connect directly to future Opteron processors, said Marty Seyer, senior vice president at AMD. Hewlett-Packard, Sun Microsystems, IBM and Cray have all agreed to participate in the program, which AMD is calling Torrenza.

Ultimately, AMD wants to separate the building blocks for its chips--such as processing cores, memory controllers, Hypertransport links and cache memory--into distinct parts that can be configured in multiple ways to meet changing workload requirements, said Phil Hester, AMD's chief technology officer. This also will allow customers to plug co-processors built specifically for certain workloads, such as Java or XML (Extensible Markup Language) traffic, right into Opteron chips, he said.
