The AMD Opteron™ Processor
The AMD Opteron™ processor enables x86 32- and 64-bit computing for 1- to 8-way server and 1- to 4-way workstation solutions.
Designed with a focus on unprecedented performance, present and future compatibility, investment protection, and reduced total cost of ownership, the AMD Opteron processor offers numerous benefits:
- Simultaneous 32- and 64-bit computing capabilities, allowing users to migrate to new 64-bit software when needs demand and budgets permit
- Direct Connect Architecture, which reduces bottlenecks and provides optimized memory performance
- Multiple coherent HyperTransport™ links and 256 Terabytes of memory space, which provide plenty of I/O bandwidth and performance capability to meet future application needs
- Scaling from 1-way to 8-way across entire data or computer centers using the same hardware and software infrastructure, thus not harming the bottom line
- AMD PowerNow!™ technology, which provides performance on demand and reduces CPU power at idle by up to 75%
The AMD Athlon™ 64 Processor
The AMD Athlon™ 64 processor is the first Windows®-compatible x86 processor to bring 32- and 64-bit computing to desktop and mobile platforms.
Designed with a focus on performance, compatibility, investment protection, and reduced total cost of ownership, the AMD Athlon™ 64 processor family offers many benefits, including:
- Simultaneous 32- and 64-bit computing capabilities, allowing users to migrate to new 64-bit software when needs demand and budgets permit
- AMD Enhanced Virus Protection, which when combined with Microsoft® Windows® XP Service Pack 2 prevents damage from certain viruses, worms, and Trojan horses, thus protecting mission-critical applications and valuable data while preventing the spread of network viruses to other systems
- AMD PowerNow!™ technology and AMD’s Cool’n’Quiet™ technology for power management:
- AMD PowerNow! technology invisibly and continuously adjusts the Mobile AMD Athlon 64 processor’s operating frequency and voltage according to the task at hand, increasing notebook battery life and reducing heat, noise, and power consumption
- AMD’s Cool’n’Quiet technology offers similar benefits for AMD Athlon 64 processor-based desktops, such as proven power savings of up to 35 watts over non-equipped computers, and cooler, quieter operation during all but the most demanding tasks
- HyperTransport™ technology, which boosts performance by reducing I/O bottlenecks and increasing bandwidth
- 3DNow!™ technology, enabling tomorrow’s multimedia quality today
AMD Turion™ 64 Mobile Technology
AMD Turion™ 64 mobile technology brings 32- and 64-bit computing to thin and light notebooks.
Designed with a focus on performance, compatibility, and investment protection, AMD Turion 64 mobile technology offers many benefits, including:
- Simultaneous 32- and 64-bit computing capabilities, allowing users to migrate to new 64-bit software when needs demand and budgets permit
- AMD Enhanced Virus Protection, which when combined with Microsoft® Windows® XP Service Pack 2 prevents damage from certain viruses, worms, and Trojan horses, thus protecting mission-critical applications and valuable data while preventing the spread of network viruses to other systems
- AMD PowerNow!™ technology, the power management solution that works by invisibly and continuously adjusting operating frequency and voltage according to the task at hand, thereby increasing battery life and reducing heat and noise
- HyperTransport™ technology, which boosts performance by reducing I/O bottlenecks and increasing bandwidth
- 3DNow!™ technology, enabling tomorrow’s multimedia quality today
- Wireless compatibility with 802.11a,b,g and Bluetooth standards
