ATI offers unparalleled platform support
for the AMD CSIP program.
About the ATI CSIP Platform
 Quality
ATI conducts a rigorous testing program to ensure the highest
level of quality for ATI CSIP platform PCs. ATI conducts
extensive tests
of its chipsets for stress testing and compatibility.
 Stability
Once an ATI CSIP platform PC is qualified within a business
or organization’s
IT department, IT managers have the confidence that identical
hardware and software configurations will be available for at
least one year. This allows
for easier and more predictable transitions of client PCs
from one generation of technology to the next.
 Longevity
As part of the ATI CSIP platform, ATI and its channel
partners release stable platforms (CSIP-certified and
ATI chipset-equipped motherboards) on a yearly cadence. Each generation
of
ATI
CSIP platform PCs will
be available
for purchase for at least 12 months with support continuing
for another 2
years after the end of the purchase cycle. By aligning
PC purchases with the ATI/AMD CSIP platform calendar,
IT managers maximize
the time to acquire
and deploy PCs consistent with a stable, reliable and
predictable
IT environment.
 Security
AMD/ATI CSIP platforms include motherboards with a
third-party integrated security chip that supports
Trusted Platform
Module TPM 1.2 technology
which allows for more secure storage of digital keys,
certifications and passwords.
 Software and Drivers
ATI’s WHQL certified driver is thoroughly tested and certified
by ATI and partners and
ATI's CSIP driver certification extends beyond the motherboard
to encompass discrete graphics as well.
 Performance
AMD processors provide
cool and quiet operation and feature award winning AMD technology.
AMD’s highly stable processors offer greater levels
of productivity and better security with AMD64 features such as HyperTransport™ technology
and Enhanced Virus Protection.
