Take multi-tasking to a whole new level with the AMD Athlon X2 dual-core Processor
AMD Athlon X2 dual-core processors put the power of dual-core technology on the desktop. Dual-core processors contain two processing cores, residing on one chip, that perform calculations
on two streams of data to increase efficiency and speed while running multiple programs and the new generation of multi-threaded software. For end-users this means a significant increase in
response and performance when running multiple applications simultaneously.
Better Multi-Tasking Means Increased Office Productivity
Productivity in todays workplace requires smooth, efficient and seamless multi-tasking. AMD Athlon X2 dual-core processors deliver TRUE multi-tasking, allowing users to switch from one
program to another without always pausing for the computer to catch up and reducing annoying processing pauses.
Setting the Pace in Digital Media Digital media software demands simultaneous processing of data streams, the perfect use for the incredible multi-tasking power of AMD64 dual-core
technology. Dual-core technology is like having two processors working together, each one taking care of different applications, so power-users can actually experience greater performance
when multiple applications are running. Digital media enthusiasts can usher in the next generation of digital media software for amazing high-definition video and photo editing, content
creation, and audio mixing. With an AMD Athlon X2 dual-core processor, your PC can perform up to 80% faster than an AMD Athlon 4000+ processor on the latest power-hungry digital media
software applications.
Get more Power using less Power
Energy-efficient AMD processors with CoolnQuiet technology enable smaller, sleeker, more energy-efficient PCs. In March 2005, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) awarded
CoolnQuiet technology special recognition for the advancement of energy-efficient computer technologies. AMD expects that systems built using energy-efficient AMD desktop processors can
meet, and in many instances, exceed the new system requirements from the EPAs ENERGY STAR Version 4 computer specification, effective July 20, 2007.
All the Proven Benefits of AMD64 Technology
Enhanced Virus Protection with Windows? XP Service Pack 2 and VistaTM Enhanced Virus Protection is a feature enabled by AMD64 technology. Enhanced Virus Protection in conjunction with
modern operating systems can help prevent the spread of certain viruses, like MSBlaster and Slammer to significantly reduce the cost and down-time associated with similar viruses and
improve the protection of computers and personal information against certain PC viruses1.
AMD Athlon Processor Architecture Performance
HyperTransport technology can increase overall system performance by reducing I/O bottlenecks, increasing system bandwidth, and reducing system latency. A fully integrated memory controller
helps speed access to memory by giving the processor a direct connection to the main memory. As a result, end users can enjoy quicker application loading and extraordinary application
performance.
Ready for the 64-bit future
Like all the processors in the AMD64 family, AMD Athlon X2 dual-core processors are designed for people who want to stay at the forefront of technology and for those who depend on their PCs
to keep them connected, informed, and entertained. Systems based on AMD64 processors can deliver leading-edge performance for demanding productivity and entertainment software today and in
the future.
With AMD64 technology, AMD Athlon X2 dual-core processors are fully compatible with existing software, while enabling a seamless transition to 64-bit applications. Both 32- and 64-bit
applications can run simultaneously and transparently on the same platform. AMD64 technology enables new, cinematic computing experiences and capabilities, in addition to increased
performance. AMD64 technology allows end users to take advantage of new innovations such as real-time encryption, more life-like games, accurate speech interfaces, cinema-quality graphic
effects, and easy-to-use video and audio editing.
Purchase with Confidence
Founded in 1969, AMD has shipped more than 240 million PC processors worldwide. Customers can depend on AMD64 processors and AMD for compatibility and reliability. AMD processors undergo
extensive testing to help ensure compatibility with Microsoft Windows XP, Vista, Windows NT?, Windows 2000, as well as Linux and other PC operating systems. AMD works collaboratively with
Microsoft and other ecosystem partners to achieve compatibility of AMD processors and to expand the capability of software and hardware products leveraging AMD64 technology. AMD conducts
rigorous research, development, and validation to help ensure the continued integrity and performance of its products.
1 Enhanced Virus Protection (EVP) is only enabled by certain operating systems including the current versions of Microsoft? Windows?, Linux, Solaris and BSD Unix. After properly installing
the appropriate operating system release, users must enable the protection of their applications and associated files from buffer overrun attacks. Consult your OS documentation for
information on enabling EVP. Contact your application software vendor for information regarding use of the application in conjunction with EVP. AMD and its partners strongly recommend that
users continue to use third party anti-virus software as part of their security strategy.
