Two weeks ago at LinuxWorld, the chip giant unveiled a new stage in its AMD Validated Server Platforms program, making available for the first time platforms certified for Novell's SUSE Linux Enterprise Server under the Novell "YES Certified" designation. On Sunday at the CMP Channel XChange '07 conference, AMD director of North American marketing Gary Bixler talked up a pair of channel-directed announcements for the VARs gathered at the Orlando, Fla. event.

In a move aimed at resellers serving gamers, enthusiasts and digital content creators, AMD on Monday released the Athlon 64 X2 6400+ or "Black Edition." Only available through the channel, the Black Edition has a 3.2 GHz dual-core processor which features an integrated 128-bit dual-channel memory controller, DDR2 memory up to and including PC2 6400 (DDR2-800) unbuffered memory, and a dedicated 2MB L2 cache. Packaged in black (of course), the 6400+ is priced at $251 per unit, without a fan as a processor-in-a-box.
