Features AMD64 with Direct Connect Architecture
• Helps improve system performance and efficiency by directly connecting the processors, the memory controller, and the I/O to the CPU.
• Designed to enable simultaneous 32- and 64-bit computing
• Integrated Memory Controller

AMD Balanced Smart Cache
• Shared 6MB L3 cache
• 512K L2 cache per core

AMD Wide Floating Point Accelerator
• 128-bit floating point unit (FPU)
• High performance (128bit internal data path) floating point unit per core.

HyperTransport™ Technology
• One 16-bit link at up to 4000MT/s

Integrated DRAM Controller with AMD Memory Optimizer Technology
• A high-bandwidth, low-latency integrated memory controller

AMD Virtualization™ (AMD-V™) Technology With Rapid Virtualization Indexing
• Silicon feature-set enhancements designed to improve the performance, reliability, and security of existing and future virtualization environments by allowing virtualized applications with direct and rapid access to their allocated memory.

AMD PowerNow!™ Technology (Cool’n’Quiet™ Technology)
• Enhanced power management features which automatically and instantaneously adjusts performance states and features based on processor performance requirements
• For quieter operation and reduced power requirements

AMD CoolCore™ Technology
• Reduces processor energy consumption by turning off unused parts of the processor. For example, the memory controller can turn off the write logic when reading from memory, helping reduce system power.
• Works automatically without the need for drivers or BIOS enablement.
• Power can be switched on or off within a single clock cycle, saving energy with no impact to performance.

Dual Dynamic Power Management™
• Enables more granular power management capabilities to reduce processor energy consumption.
• Separate power planes for cores and memory controller, for optimum power consumption and performance, creating more opportunities for power savings within the cores and memory controller.

Buying Guide

AMD Phenom II
Date Issued: 12th Feb 2009

This TekSpek explains the technology and market positioning behind AMD Phenom II CPUs.

How to upgrade your BIOS
Date Issued: 21st Oct 2008

This How-2 Guide explains what BIOS is and how it can be upgraded to the latest revision. BIOS, which stands for Basic Input/Output System, is a integral software program that comes pre-loaded with your computer. Its purpose is to initially identify computer hardware and prepare the system to run other software such as operating systems.

Cores
Date Issued: 20th Oct 2008

Over the course of the last year or so we’ve seen GHz become less of a focus when it comes to processors. Instead, we’re seeing a shift towards processors that do more work per clock, have larger caches, are more power efficient, and of course we’ve seen dual-core processors hit the market. So what is dual-core all about, and how does it weigh up compared to single-core?

CPU Codes
Date Issued: 20th Oct 2008

It’s been a long time since MHz were the only part of a CPU’s specification that concerned people. Manufacturers take different approaches to CPU design, even when using the same architecture. That means for example, at the same clock speed, an Intel and AMD processor will deliver different performance.

Chipsets
Date Issued: 20th Oct 2008

What makes a PC tick? Is it the processor, graphics card, RAM, or a plethora of other peripherals. It’s all those and more, but none would be much use without a means of connecting said components in an efficient manner. That’s where your humble motherboard comes in. Its job is to ensure that all devices can communicate correctly, and the beating heart of any motherboard is the chipset it’s based upon.

AMD 64 Processors
Date Issued: 20th Oct 2008

This TekSpek explains what AMD’s AMD64 CPU instruction set architecture (ISA) is, shows what CPUs implement it from both AMD and Intel, and explains what software is available to run on those 64-bit consumer processors.

Overclocking
Date Issued: 20th Oct 2008

This TekSpek explains why you’d want to overclock your graphics board, the risks in doing so and how you can go about doing it.

Architecture wars
Date Issued: 2nd Nov 2006

Intel’s Core 2 Duo is now slugging it out against AMD’s Socket AM2 Athlon 64s with DDR2 memory support. So what is next on the roadmap from the two chip-vending foes?
