Validated and tested
AVS platforms go through a rigorous validation process by ECS as well as AMD. This collaborative approach brings hundreds of engineers together to ensure the platforms in AVS meet rigid standards.

Commercial stable infrastructure
Stable image chipsets and drivers are the foundation of the AVS commercial stable infrastructure. All AVS chipsets, drivers, and platforms adhere to a particular 15-month stability cycle, which begins when the platform is introduced as an AMD Validated Solution.

All of this adds up to reliable performance

*Enhanced Virus Protection (EVP) is only enabled by certain operating systems including the current versions of Microsoft Windows®, Linux®, Solaris™, and BSD Unix. After properly installing the appropriate operating system release, users must enable the protection of their applications and associated files from memory buffer overrun attacks. Contact your application software vendor for information regarding use of the application in conjunction with Enhanced Virus Protection. AMD recommends that users continue to use third-party anti-virus software as part of their security strategy.
