AMD Athlon XP Processor
Overview
The AMD Athlon XP processor with QuantiSpeed architecture powers the next
generation in computing platforms, delivering extra performance for cutting-edge
applications and an extraordinary computing experience. The AMD Athlon
XP processor is the latest member of the AMD Athlon family of processors
designed to meet the computation-intensive requirements of cutting-edge
software applications running on high-performance desktop systems.
AMD delivers tremendous performance by increasing the amount of work done
per clock cycle and improving the operating frequency at the same time.
The end result is a processor design that produces a high volume of work
done per cycle and high operating frequencies—an optimum combination for
compelling application performance.
The Ultimate Digital Media Experience in an x86 Platform
The AMD Athlon XP processor offers fast results when working with digital
media like audio, video, and image files. The AMD Athlon XP processor
provides for outstanding near real-time voice, video, and CAD/CAM as a
result of features like larger cache memory, 3DNow! Professional technology,
and the innovative QuantiSpeed architecture which includes the industry’s
most powerful fully-pipelined x86 floating point engine.
The AMD Athlon XP processor brings digital entertainment like games and
DVDs to life with rich, smooth graphics and true to life sound. The processor
enables a more life-like audio experience with special surround sound
enhancing features. The AMD Athlon XP processor takes advantage of connected
digital devices and their content by delivering realistic photos, smooth
videos, and rich sound. The combination of the Windows® XP operating system’s
features and the exceptional capabilities of the AMD Athlon XP processor
provide a phenomenal Internet experience with smoother streaming audio
and video.
Tailored for Microsoft® Windows® XP
The AMD Athlon XP processor offers compelling performance for running
Microsoft Windows XP, as well as outstanding performance on previous versions
of Windows. The raw power and robust features of the AMD Athlon XP processor
enable users to make the most of multitasking and user switching capabilities
offered in Windows XP. Microsoft optimized the DirectX 8.0 interface for
Windows XP specifically for the AMD Athlon XP processor. The AMD Athlon
XP processor’s innovative QuantiSpeed architecture helps propel Windows
XP application performance to a new level. To unleash the rich features
found in Windows XP, AMD and Microsoft worked together to optimize applications
like Media Encoder 8.0 for AMD’s 3DNow! Professional technology.
AMD Athlon processors were used in the design and development of the Windows
XP operating system, which helps to ensure that systems based on AMD processors
offer excellent OS compatibility. AMD and Microsoft’s strong working relationship
dates back over a decade to the first version of Windows. Over the years,
AMD processors have powered some of the most reliable PC systems for Windows
applications, increasing productivity and enjoyment for end-users.
Featuring QuantiSpeed Architecture for Rapid Execution of
Applications
QuantiSpeed architecture, the latest technological enhancement to the
award-winning AMD Athlon processor core, provides for extra performance
in the cutting-edge features users need most. At the heart of QuantiSpeed
architecture is a nine-issue, superscalar, fully-pipelined core. This
provides more pathways to feed application instructions into the execution
engines of the core, simply allowing the processor to complete more work
in a given clock cycle. Additional features of QuantiSpeed architecture
include a superscalar, fully-pipelined floating point engine, hardware
data prefetch, and exclusive, speculative Translation Look-aside Buffers
(TLBs). Combined, these features help boost overall productivity and allow
a system to boot and load applications quickly. In the end, users will
enjoy an effortless computing experience.
Software applications and Internet plug-ins run lightning-fast because
they are optimized to take advantage of innovative QuantiSpeed architecture
and 3DNow! Professional technology, found exclusively in the AMD Athlon
XP processor. AMD has generated benchmark data for the performance results
of the AMD Athlon XP processors that Andersen, a global leader in professional
services, has independently audited. Visit the AMD Web site at AMD.com to view the data and audit
results.
