Design Goals
One of the design goals of Intel for AMR was to allow motherboard manufacturers a way to implement analog I/O (audio and modem functionality) on an expansion card for U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) certification. Potential cost-savings could then be realized by reusing the card on multiple motherboards and skipping FCC certification for those motherboards.

Famous quotes containing the words design and/or goals:
“The reason American cars don’t sell anymore is that they have forgotten how to design the American Dream. What does it matter if you buy a car today or six months from now, because cars are not beautiful. That’s why the American auto industry is in trouble: no design, no desire.”
—Karl Lagerfeld (b. 1938)
“Let us beware of saying there are laws in nature. There are only necessities: there is no one to command, no one to obey, no one to transgress. When you realize there are no goals or objectives, then you realize, too, that there is no chance: for only in a world of objectives does the word “chance” have any meaning.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
