SUNNYVALE, Calif., May 05, 2009 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- AMD | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- Underlining the company's leadership in developing hardware and drivers to support the Windows(R) 7 operating system, AMD (NYSE:AMD) today announced that its Windows 7 driver has received Windows Hardware Quality Lab (WHQL) certification on the first day of the certifying program.

-- Industry-leading driver stability and reliability.

-- Full WDDM 1.1 WHQL certified support under Windows 7.

-- Scheduled performance and new feature innovation every month.

-- Enablement of ATI Stream technology for general purpose GPU (GPGPU) computing on supported graphics cards.

"By delivering a WHQL certified driver for the Windows 7 operating system at the earliest possible opportunity, AMD has once again demonstrated its driver leadership," said Ben Bar-Haim, corporate vice president, Software Engineering, AMD. "AMD is working closely with Microsoft to ensure superior performance and a reliable Windows 7 experience throughout our line of graphics processors."

Microsoft WHQL certified graphics drivers for Windows 7 are scheduled for release on AMD.com on May 5, 2009, and a fully unified WHQL-certified driver supporting Windows Vista and Windows 7 is planned for the release of ATI Catalyst(TM) 9.5 later in May.
