Product Features

True Multi-Core Processing - The extensive AMD64 architectural optimizations and features enable thorough integration of multiple cores within the same processor, with each core having its own L1 and L2 caches.

EFFICIENCY

 Take advantage of energy efficiency you’ll feel good about for a green, cool, and quiet PC experience

 Save energy, get the most out of your budget, and help reduce heat and noise to reduce the environmental impact of your PC

 AMD Dedicated Multi-Cache - Each core has its own dedicated L2 cache, which enables simultaneous independent core access to L2 cache, eliminating the need for cores to arbitrate for cache access. This helps reduce latency on L2 cache accesses.

 AMD Virtualization™ (AMD-V™) Technology - Silicon feature-set enhancements designed to improve the performance, reliability, and security of both existing and future virtualization environments.

 AMD PowerNow!™ 3.0 Technology - The latest power management technologies that deliver performance on demand when you need it, and power savings when you don't.

 HyperTransport™ 3.0 Technology - Third-generation HyperTransport™ technology interface improves performance, supporting transfer speeds up to 4.4GT/s.

 Simultaneous 32-bit and 64-bit Computing - AMD64 technology enables a breakthrough approach to 64-bit computing that doubles the number of registers in the processor and allows PC users to use today’s 32-bit software applications while enabling them to also use the next generation of 64-bit applications.

4 Based on comparison of processor performance states of 65nm 95W AMD Athlon™ 7850 to 45nm 65W AMD Athlon™ II X2 250 processors. Power under heavy load calculated using performance state P0 for AMD Athlon™ 7850 processor and a combination of P0 and P1 for AMD Athlon™ II 250 processo r. Power under light load calculated using performance state

P1 for AMD Athlon™ 7850 processor and P3 for AMD Athlon™ II 25 processor. Power during idle calculated using performance state of C1E for both processors.
