This time around, we have two chips from AMD, both officially Athlon 64 X2 processors, to give you a better feel for the actual dual core Socket performance that you'll be seeing later this year. Log in Don't have an account? Advanced Micro Devices x86 microprocessors. Early x86 bit Am For starters, the Athlon 64 X2's clock speeds aren't that low compared to the current single-core Athlon 64s.
Web Browsing Multitasking Scenario 4: Both AMD and Intel appear to be playing release date games with their latest dual core processors. Note that the timing of today's article doesn't mean that there's any change in the Athlon 64 X2 release or shipping schedule.
In other projects Wikimedia Commons. The CPUs still won't be available until Q3 or Q4 of this year, but AMD appears to want to get performance numbers out there as soon as possible; given the impressive performance that we had previewed in our first articleit's not much of a surprise from AMD.

AMD Athlon 64 X2 + / GHz processor Overview - CNET
The top of the line Athlon 64 FX runs at 2. K8 Microarchitecture "Kuma" based models are K10 derived. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Webarchive template wayback links All articles with failed verification Articles with failed verification from June Athlon 64 X2 Index Power Consumption: Programs often written with multiple threads and capable of utilizing dual-cores include many music and video encoding applications, and especially professional rendering programs.
Having two cores, the Athlon 64 X2 aamd an increased number of transistors.

Views Read Edit View history. Sign up now Username Password Remember Me. The primary benefit of dual-core processors like the Athlon 64 X2 over single-core processors is their ability to process more software threads at the same time.
We've talked quite a bit about the impact of dual core on the desktop, but to keep things to the point, if you're interested in knowing a bit more, please take a look back at the following topics: The ability of processors to execute multiple threads simultaneously is called thread-level parallelism TLP.
Certain programs are currently written for only fore thread, and are therefore unable to utilize the processing power of the second core.
AMD's Athlon 64 X2 4800+ & 4200+ Dual Core Performance Preview
In the consumer segment of the market as well, the X2 improves upon the performance of the original Athlon 64, especially for multi-threaded software applications. This page was last edited on 2 Septemberat File Compression Multitasking Scenario 3: We used the latest Catalyst 5.
Intel's affordable dual core desktop solution, the new Pentium D, officially launched in the middle of last monthbut has yet to be seen in the channel.
We've already discussed the dkal and lineup of AMD's Athlon 64 X2 line, but coree a quick refresher, here are the tables from our original review: Multi-tasking also runs a sizable number of threads; intense multi-tasking scenarios have actually shown improvements of considerably more than two times.
Retrieved from " https: The initial versions are based on the E-stepping model of the Athloh 64 and, depending on the model, have either or KB of L2 Cache per core.
