ATLANTA, GEORGIA - American Megatrends (AMI) is pleased to announce that its AMIBIOS®8 & Aptio®4.x products feature support for the new Intel® Xeon® 5500 Platform.

The Intel® Xeon® 5500 platform combines the Intel® Xeon® Processor 5500 Series with the Intel® 5520 Chipset for embedded, storage, security and communications infrastructure applications in a wide range of form factors. There are four different processor options for this platform with seven year lifecycle support from Intel.

The platform is optimized for efficient performance and features 6 SATA II ports with available software RAID 5. For internal memory, it features up to 3 channels of native DDR3 SR/DR/Quad Rank, DDR3 800/1066 RDIMM or UDIMM and up to 3 dual-rank or 1 quad-rank RDIMMs/channel.

S. Shankar, President and CEO of American Megatrends, offered this comment: “As a long-standing member of the Intel® Embedded and Communications Alliance, we are proud to announce our continued support for the expanded Intel® Xeon® platforms. The growth of the Intel Xeon processor 5500 series lineup enables even greater adoption of firmware solutions, using both traditional BIOS and UEFI implementations. AMI remains committed to ensuring that our AMIBIOS and Aptio offerings satisfy the most rigorous demands of the marketplace.”

AMIBIOS8 is built around Visual eBIOS (VeB), the innovative development environment designed specifically for BIOS porting. VeB was released with the original AMIBIOS8 in 2001 and continues to simplify BIOS development worldwide by removing barriers normally associated with BIOS development in the command line environment. Aptio builds on that experience, providing next- generation BIOS firmware based on Unified EFI (UEFI) and the Intel® Platform Innovation Framework for EFI.

AMIBIOS8 & Aptio 4.x evaluation BIOS for Intel Customer Reference Boards are available now. Interested parties are encouraged to contact AMI’s Software Sales Department for details.
