Red Hat Summit 2014 – AMD today announced another major milestone in the development of its enterprise software ecosystem with the first public demonstration of its second-generation AMD Opteron™ X-Series APU, codenamed “Berlin,” running a Linux environment based on the Fedora Project. The Fedora Project is a Red Hat-sponsored, community-driven Linux distribution, providing a familiar, enterprise class operating environment to developers and IT administrators worldwide. This is important to companies looking to transition to x86 APU servers but who are reluctant to introduce new tools and software platforms to their IT environments. This demonstration also represents a significant step forward in expanding the footprint of x86 APU accelerated performance within the data center.
 
Are there advantages to having really good integrated graphics on a server? :confused:
 
For most servers, no. It could be an option for budget minded compute servers in limited situations. I wouldn't blame anyone for yawning, because it's not a big deal. :p
 
This has a LOT of potential if AMD works this right. Getting partners onboard...

They are looking VERY good so far...!
 
Does that mean someone else than amd janitors will now work on their linux drivers ?
 
Does this mean a future build of Fedora will have HSA baked right in? If so, I hope other operating systems especially Windows does the same. It will help spread adoption of HSA.

Sweep, sweep, sweep them under the rug. Hopefully they will stop doing that and put some formidable effort into them.
