American Megatrends Inc.

The Intel Developer Forum (IDF) 2012 in San Francisco is where people from every part of the technology industry gather to hear about Intel's latest advances. AMI will be located in Booth 613 of the Technology Showcase for the duration of IDF San Francisco, demonstrating innovative technology solutions that emphasize AMI's preparedness for a new chapter in personal computing and system development.

AMI's theme for this year's IDF San Francisco is "readiness" - reflecting many of the recent and forthcoming dramatic changes to the computing landscape in 2012 and beyond. At IDF, AMI will showcase some of its newest and most innovative products - including the DuOS™ Dual OS Android™ - Windows™ Environment for x86 devices, as well as the latest improvements and additions to AMI's flagship Aptio® UEFI Firmware like GLOS™ Graphics Library for Pre-OS that make it ready for the imminent release of Windows™ 8 from Microsoft® and the explosive growth in ultramobile computing with Ultrabook™ and tablet devices.

Subramonian Shankar, President and CEO of American Megatrends, commented that "This year has seen significant changes in the computing landscape, with AMI partners like Intel and Microsoft driving some of the biggest moves. Thanks to our close cooperation with these industry leaders, we believe that AMI is well positioned to respond to these market shifts and leverage our half-century plus of leadership in BIOS and UEFI to help drive the pace of innovation even farther forward. At IDF, AMI will show precisely how we are ready for this new landscape - with interesting things in the UEFI pre-boot space that make us ready for Windows® 8 Ultrabooks and tablets, as well as capitalizing on the widespread interest in Android by bringing it to the x86 ecosystem with DuOS."

American Megatrends warmly welcomes its customers, partners and media representatives to IDF San Francisco and invites attendees to visit Booth 613 for an up-close and personal view of the latest in AMI innovation.
