Advanced Micro Devices Inc., seeking a way to regain server-processor sales lost to Intel Corp., said it will start using ARM Holdings Plc technology in some products, an effort to gain ground in the data-center market.

AMD will begin offering 64-bit processors based on ARM’s designs in 2014, Chief Executive Officer Rory Read said at a company event in San Francisco yesterday. The Sunnyvale, California-based chipmaker will also offer processors that combine ARM technology with designs from startup SeaMicro Inc., which AMD acquired earlier this year.
