“With the introduction of the AMD Opteron 800 series, AMD made it possible for a larger customer audience to realize levels of power and performance previously unavailable to them,” said Danny Hsu, Vice-President of Sales and Marketing at Tyan. “By offering the new Thunder K8 QW (S4881) and Transport VX50 (B4881) which both utilize the AMD Opteron 800 series of processors, Tyan has once again given customers the tools to gain technology leadership.”
