Overview

AMD DuronTM & AthlonTM Processors

The AM AthlonTM is a seventh-generation micro architecture with an integrated

L2 cache, which is powerful enough to support the bandwidth requirements of a

large range of applications, hardware, graphics, and memory technologies. These

processors implement advanced design techniques such as:

Socket A (PGA 462)

200MHz system interface based on the Alpha EV6 bus protocol.

Three out-of-order, superscalar, pipelined Multimedia Units.

Three out-of-order, superscaler, pipelined Integer Units.

Fixed-sized internal instruction formats (MacroOPs).

72-entry Instruction Control Units.

AM enhanced 3 Now! technology

L1 and L2 caches.

 ynamic branch prediction.

Socket A is the name for AM s new socketed interface designed to support both

AM uronTM and AM AthlonTM processors. This innovation is made possible

by integrating the L2 cache memory on chip with the processor. Socket A will

help enable smaller enclosures, and ultimately result in a wider variety of solu-

tions in the market.

The AM uronTM & AthlonTM processors in the Socket A format continue to

deliver the ultimate performance for cutting-edge applications. Both bring to

desktop systems running industry-standard x86 software superscalar RISC

performance. Being provided in the Socket A format they are the worlds most

powerful x86 processors. They easily deliver the highest integer, floating-point,

and 3 multimedia performance for applications running on x86 platforms

around.

IntroductionEP-8KTA

Page 1-3

The AM uronTM processor is derived from the AM AthlonTM processor core.

It features full-speed, on-chip cache memory, a 200MHz front side system bus,

and enhanced 3 Now! technology. Although both processors are related, there

are key differences. The AM AthlonTM processor is targeted at the performance

segment, and as such will have more cache memory and higher clock speeds.

Accelerated Graphics Port

(AGP or A.G.P.)

Typically, 3 graphics rendering requires a tremendous amount of memory, and

demands ever increasing throughput speed as well. As 3 products for the

personal computer become more and more popular, these demands will only

increase. This will cause a rise in costs for both end users and manufacturers.

Lowering these costs as well as improving performance is the primary motivation

behind AGP. By providing a massive increase in the bandwidth available between

the video card and the processor, it will assist in relieving some of these pressures

for quite sometime.

Hardware Monitoring

Hardware monitoring allows you to monitor various aspects of your systems

operations and status. The features include CPU temperature, voltage and RPM of

fan.

EP-8KTA Form-Factor

The EP-8KTA is designed with ATX form factor - the new industry standard of

chassis. ATX form factor is essentially a Baby-AT baseboard rotated 90 degrees

within the chassis enclosure and a new mounting configuration for the power

supply. With these changes the processor is relocated away from the expansion

slots, allowing them all to hold full length add-in cards. ATX defines a double

height aperture to the rear of the chassis which can be used to host a wide range of

onboard I/O. Only the size and position of this aperture is defined, allowing PC

manufacturers to add new I/O features (e.g.; TV input, TV output, joystick, modem,

LAN, etc.) to systems. This will help systems integrators differentiate their

products in the marketplace, and better meet your needs.

 Smaller size promotes a smaller system size.

 I/O shield does not need to be retooled in an ATX 2.01 or later. The

mainboard should be used in an ATX 2.01 (or later) compliant case.

 A smaller power supply can be used. High integration on mainboard

reduces the system costs.
