AMD Helps Power Performance of All-Star Cast in Upcoming Hollywood Thriller
Director Robert Rodriguez harnesses AMD technology to produce latest cinematic release "Machete Kills"
London, UK. - Sept. 20, 2013 - AMD (NYSE: AMD) today announced its role in the much-anticipated major motion picture sequel "Machete Kills." Written and directed by award-winning Robert Rodriguez of Quick Draw Studios, "Machete Kills" sees actor Danny Trejo reprising his role as the international spy known as Machete.
The film plot centers around Machete's mission to help the President of the United States, played by Carlos Estevez - better known as the actor Charlie Sheen - take down an international crime ring. To help get the job done, Machete and his counter-surveillance team rely on systems powered by AMD technology, which are featured in the film.
In addition to Trejo and Estevez, the movie also stars some of Hollywood's biggest actors including Mel Gibson, Sofia Vergara, Michelle Rodriguez, Antonio Banderas, Cuba Gooding Jr., and marks the cinematic debut of performer Lady Gaga.
"We believe this film is going to be one of the fall's biggest hits, and AMD is proud to be part of the magic," said Colette LaForce, senior vice president and Chief Marketing Officer, AMD. "It's exciting to see what AMD technology can do in the hands of one of the most innovative filmmakers of our time, and the fact that our brand helps Machete achieve his mission in the story itself underscores our commitment to delivering technology that helps push the limits of what is possible in our world."
Quick Draw Studio's visual effects division, Troublemaker Digital, uses AMD OpteronTM processors and AMD FireProTM graphics accelerators on many of its productions, including "Machete Kills." Rodriguez is well known as an early pioneer in the use of computing technology to produce larger-than-life graphics and high fidelity imagery in major motion pictures.
"Editing, content creation and special effects were all made easier with AMD technology in our studios," said Robert Rodriguez of Quick Draw Studios. "We just had to put AMD's brand in the film as a special shoutout to a great technology partner, and we had a lot of fun bringing this sequel to life. ‘Machete Kills' is action-packed and very visually rich, and we pushed our creative process even further on this release."
Rodriguez has used AMD technology to create a number of his previous films, including "Machete," "Spy Kids 2: The Island of Lost Dreams," "Spy Kids 3D: Game Over," and "Sin City" to name a few.
A special showing of "Machete Kills" will take place at the ninth annual Fantastic Fest Thursday, Sept. 19, 2013 in Austin, Texas. Fantastic Fest is the largest genre film festival in the U.S., specializing in horror, fantasy, sci-fi, action and just plain fantastic movies from all around the world.

Transcend Wins National Award and Earns Top 50 Spot in US Patent Quality Ranking
September 16, 2013 - Transcend Information, Inc. (Transcend), is proud to announce that one of its memory device patents has been awarded the prestigious "Silver Medal" for its exceptional innovation at the 2013 National Invention and Creation Award (NICA) competition organized by Taiwan's Intellectual Property Office. This cutting-edge patent, which pertains to the data access circuit and access method within non-volatile memory devices, has already been implemented throughout Transcend's SSD product range, including industrial SSDs.
National Invention and Creation Award
This year's "Silver Medal" marks Transcend's fourth National Invention and Creation Award. The award-winning invention allows faster data block management in SSD products by assigning a weight value to each storage area based on its error history and usage status. This means that storage areas can be quickly classified and given different data access priority. Additionally, any disabled blocks will be classified in the disabled block area to prevent data storage, thereby reducing the probability of failure and extending the life span of the storage device.
This invention has not only obtained a key patent in Taiwan, but has also won crucial patent certificates in both China and the USA. The technology has already been applied to the controller designs of Transcend's current consumer and industrial-grade SSD products.
Taiwan's Top 50 Companies in US Patent Quality Ranking
Transcend has been recognized as one of Taiwan's Top 50 companies based on US patent quality among an enterprise IP survey conducted jointly by the Science and Technology Law Institute of Taiwan and Ocean Tomo, LLC. Transcend's R&D team is well known for its superior innovation and design capability. With over 20 years of technical experience and expertise, Transcend has obtained 73 granted patents and filed more than 70 additional patent applications. The survey found Transcend to be one of the Top 50 Taiwanese companies that showed outstanding performance on perceived patent quality.

London, Sept. 12, 2013 - SanDisk Corporation (NASDAQ: SNDK), a global leader in flash memory storage solutions, today announced the availability of the 256GB1 SanDisk Extreme Pro® CompactFlash® memory card, the world's first high-capacity, high-performance CompactFlash card with the latest Video Performance Guarantee (VPG-65)2 specification. Also being announced by SanDisk today are faster speeds across all other capacities of the SanDisk Extreme Pro CompactFlash line of memory cards.
"SanDisk has been at the forefront with storage solutions that enable the broader adoption of new video capture technologies. We always design our SanDisk Extreme Pro cards with professional photographers and videographers in mind," said Susan Park, director, mobile and imaging worldwide retail product marketing, SanDisk. "Cinema-quality 4K video capture demands tremendous performance and capacity, which is exactly what we have delivered with the new 256GB SanDisk Extreme Pro CompactFlash card."
The card delivers minimum sustained write speeds of 65MB/s2, optimized to capture 4K and Full HD video3. The 256GB SanDisk Extreme Pro CompactFlash card has industry-leading transfer speeds of up to 160MB/s4, designed to dramatically improve workflow efficiencies, and delivers fast shot speeds of up to 140MB/s4 for advanced functions such as fast action and continuous burst mode shots.
"The speed and capacity of SanDisk Extreme Pro CompactFlash cards, as well as the ability to shoot and store 4K video directly to a CompactFlash card, are a major step forward for professional photographers and videographers," said Sam Nicholson, founder, Stargate Studios. "My work rarely allows for a second chance to capture a big shot or important footage, so when I select SanDisk memory cards, I'm trusting them with assets that are essential to me and my clients."
SanDisk Extreme Pro memory cards are designed for professionals and are backed by a lifetime limited warranty5. The cards are durability tested, include RTV silicone coating inside for added protection against shock and vibration, and perform in extreme temperatures from minus 13 degrees Fahrenheit to 185 degrees Fahrenheit. The cards also include a one year downloadable offer for RescuePRO® media recovery software6, which lets photographers recover their images in case of accidental deletion.
Increased Speeds Across the Product Line
To coincide with the launch of the 256GB SanDisk Extreme Pro CompactFlash card, SanDisk is increasing the speed across each capacity of the SanDisk Extreme Pro CompactFlash line.
