Following Intel's announcement of a virtualization technology for its processors, AMD today announced that it will make its virtualization approach available for Opteron processors next month.
The project, code-named "Pacifica", is not based on a proprietary technology, but represents a port of the open-source package Xen to the AMD64 platform. According to a statement, the specification will be released next month. Users will see the virtualization feature available in both desktop, mobile and server processors during the first half of 2006, AMD said.
