	Athlon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The original Athlon, or Athlon Classic, was the first seventh-generation x86 processor and, in a first, retained the initial performance lead it had over Intel's competing processors for a significant period of time.
		Internally, the Athlon was essentially a major reworking of the K6 processor core designed for compatibility with the EV6 bus protocol (first used on DEC's Alpha 21264 RISC processor).
		Athlon XP/MP In performance terms, the Thunderbird had easily eclipsed the rival Pentium III, and the early Pentium 4 were a long way off the pace, but gradually clawed their way closer.

	Athlon 64 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Although its clock rates are usually higher, all Athlon 64 FX processors are a single-core design with the exception of the Athlon 64 FX-60, which was released on January 10th of 2006.
		This release is analogous to that of the Athlon 64 FX-53, which was initially available at a time when Socket 939 had not yet been introduced; as such it was only made for the higher end Socket 940 platform, but saw a Socket 939 model at a later date.
		All of the Athlon 64 FX processors have their multipliers unlocked, and normal Athlon 64s have their multipliers unlocked downward (meaning that users can select any multipliers up to and including the factory-set default one).

	Athlon Overclocking Adventure
		Athlons use a special CPU connector, "Slot A", which is mechanically identical to the Intel Slot 1 connector but electrically completely different.
		Athlons also have a multiplier that can't be changed by simple things like jumpers on the motherboard or a setup program.
		In the Athlon cartridge, the central plate-to-CPU contact point is nice and solid, but the cache RAM just has blobs of thermal transfer compound on it, bridging a gap of a few millimetres to matching insets on the plate.

		Socket a (also known as socket 462) is used for amd flagship processors ranging from the athlonathlon k7 to the athlon xp 3200+, and amd budget processors...
		The Athlon 64 FX is similar to the Opteron and more powerful than the standard Athlon 64.
		Athlon 64 FX processors differ from other Athlon 64 processors by having both 1MB L2-Cache and 128-bit dual channel memory interface.

	Athlon XP 2000+ Review
		However, the Athlon XP data series in red enjoys a simple technique called "block prefetching" which significantly closes with gap with the P4.
		Although the Athlon XP is king of this test by large margins, the Athlon was not.
		While the Athlon XP shines on this test, the Athlon is a poor performer.

		The two other Athlon XP 2200+ units' scores were in the same tight cluster: The $2996 Compaq Presario 8000Z earned a 122 mark; the $3485 Falcon Northwest Mach V Athlon XP 2200+, a 120.
		The Athlon XP 2200+ is manufactured using a.13-micron process instead of the.18-micron process used with prior Athlons.
		Athlon XP 2200+ PCs like the ABS and Polywell units we tested save you a few hundred dollars over their P4 peers and offer loads of power for most standard tasks.

	Define Athlon - a definition from Whatis.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		Athlon, a popular microprocessor from AMD that is used in many personal computers, was the first processor to be shipped in a 1 gigahertz (one billion clock speed) version.
		The Athlon achieved favorable press reviews for its speed and cost when compared to Intel's Pentium 3.
		Athlon has an x86-compatible processor architecture that comes with a fully pipelining, superscalar floating point unit, a 128kilobyte L1 and L2 that is built into the microprocessor chip, and a programmable backside bus to a L1 and L2.

		The launch of Athlon 64 FX is perhaps the biggest and most anticipated launch event that AMD has had.
		This is basically the basic fundamental that AMD used in designing AMD's 8th generation processors, the Athlon 64 FX (as well as the Athlon 64 and Opteron).

		The Athlon is not multiplier locked, but changing the multiplier is not an easy task, as it was on the older AMD chips.
		The second option is to use a Goldfinger device to adjust the multiplier of the Athlon.
		Through DIP switches or rotary dials, the Athlon's onboard signals are overridden, and the GFD supplies the new settings to the processor.

	Athlon
		The Intel Pentium III and AMD Athlon processors were compared (both at 500 MHz), as were the Absoft Pro Fortran and Portland Group PGF77/PGF90 compilers for Linux.
		After analysis of the results of several benchmarks and consideration of other factors, the Athlon processor and Portland Group compilers were selected for use with the Bobcat cluster.
		It was announced on 13th July 2000 that the University of Amsterdam was to install a 120-node Beowulf cluster based on the 700 MHz AMD Athlon with 100 Mbit/s Ethernet.

	Hardware Analysis - Athlon XP 3000+, AMD closing in on Intel - Introduction
		Although AMD has, once more, pushed the launch of the Athlon-64 back by several months they came out with a new Athlon XP processor recently, and as evident from the performance rating, 3000+, this new processor is meant to go head to head with Intel’s latest offering.
		The new Athlon XP 3000+ is based on AMD’s new 0.13-micron process which will also be used in manufacturing the upcoming Athlon-64.
		The Athlon XP 3000+ is based on a new core, codename Barton, which has a number of advantages over the previous, Thoroughbred, Athlon XP core.

	Ars Technica: AMD's Athlon: Paranoia realized (8/99) - Page 1 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		Although initial shipments of the Athlon will include a backside cache design similar to the current Pentium III, with 512KB of L2 cache running at 50% the speed of the CPU, the CPU can address up to 8MB of L2 cache.
		AMD claims the Athlon's EV6-based system bus will ramp up fairly easily from 200 to 400MHz (and beyond), and its point-to-point topology should allow better peak transfer rates in multiprocessor systems.
		In short, the Athlon's core, cache, and bus designs give it plenty of headroom to scale in the coming months and years.

	AMD's Athlon 64 FX-51 - Hot Hardware (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		As the Athlon 64's branding suggests, AMD's new Athlon would be designed from the ground up as a native 64-bit machine with the capability to also run in 32-bit mode.
		The Athlon 64 FX-51 also has a memory controller that is twice as "wide" as the 3200+; 128-bits vs. 64-bits respectively.
		With the Athlon 64, the memory controller is now on the processor's die, which means memory traffic no longer has to travel out of the CPU to chipset and back.

	X-bit labs - Articles - Meeting First Socket 939 Processors: AMD Athlon 64 3800+ and Athlon 64 3500+
		This event is also accompanied with the transition of the Athlon 64 to the new processor socket, called Socket 939, which seems to have the potential of becoming a “stable platform” and live a long life as a solution for high-performance and mainstream computer systems.
		This fact means that the Athlon 64 platform is not yet rock-solid, but is rather still evolving.
		The new processors of the Athlon 64 series use the new Socket 939, which is going to have a long lifecycle, and the processors themselves have obtained definite properties which, I hope, will be implemented in CPUs to follow.

	Real World Technologies - AMD Athlon 4 — Desktop Palomino Core
		When I installed the Athlon MP in a new Soyo K7V Dragon (one of the newest VIA KT266 DDR Socket A Mainboards) the BIOS identified the CPU as an Athlon 4 at boot.
		Even though the Intel Pentium 4 has faster CPU speeds than the current Athlon, it does not appear (I say appear since I have not actually tested a P4) that the highest speed P4 is any faster (and may be slower) in most applications than the current Athlon.
		It is interesting to note that the road map I have shows the Athlon 4 using a 1.8v core voltage setting, but the Athlon MP I used for testing was a 1.75v part.

	AMD Athlon XP "Thoroughbred" Review
		Remember that we are not going to compare the AMD Athlon XP vs. Intel Pentium 4 because there were a lot of such comparisons, and we have nothing to say about the processor which has the same architecture as its predecessor.
		In the unit of solving of mathematical equations the Athlon XP leads impressively in floating-point calculations, which, however, turns to zero when the SSE2 are used.
		While the Athlon XP has some frequency reserve, the architecture itself doesn't have any; it's well seen through the tests where performance depends not only on a processor's clock speed.

	AMD's Athlon 64 FX-53 - Hot Hardware (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		The FX and standard Athlon 64 shared the same base architecture, but with the FX-51 AMD kept the 128-bit memory controller found in their Opteron line of server CPUs intact.
		With the Athlon 64 FX-53, AMD's engineers spent some time tweaking their relatively new.13 micron Silicon On Insulator (SOI) manufacturing process and were able to ratchet its clock speed up to 2.4GHz, an increase of about 9% over the already speedy FX-51.
		The Athlon 64 FX-53 is clocked at a default speed of 2.4GHz, an increase of 200MHz from the FX-51's 2.2GHz.

		In fact, the Athlon 64 4000+ is just a repackaged Athlon 64 FX-53 that has been dethroned as the king of Athlon 64 processors.
		The only difference between the 4000+ and the FX-53 is the fact that Athlon 64 FX processors are multiplier unlocked and the standard Athlon 64s are not.
		The combination of the nForce3 Ultra and an Athlon 64 processor made for an excellent test platform and not a single crash was seen during testing.

	Spode's Abode - Athlon 64 Chipset Performance Analysis
		When AMD64 was originally launched, it was launched in two forms, Athlon 64 on the Socket 754 platform and Athlon FX and Opteron on the Socket 940 platform.
		The Athlon 64 is essentially the Athlon FXs smaller brother, with less cache and support for only single channel memory rather than dual.
		With the launch of Socket 939, we see both the Athlon 64 and FX migrate to the same platform, leaving Socket 754 behind to gather dust.

		The K7V-RM that came with our AMD Athlon 1 GHz review system (review soon) did very well: when I plugged in an Athlon 800, the chip easily overclocked to 8x112 MHz = 896 MHz.
		You must remove the plastic cover of the Athlon module and connect an overclocking device to the "golden fingers" (in the orange box) on the Athlon PCB.
		The only problem with this approach is removing the small plastic case of the Athlon module, but we'll show you how.

	Bjorn3d.com -AMD Athlon XP 2700+ Review, Satisfying Your Daily Tech Cravings Since 1996
		Considering that the Athlon XP 2600+ isn’t even on the streets yet, it appears that AMD is having some significant success with it’s 0.13 micron process at it’s relatively new Dresden fabrication plant (Fab 30).
		The original Athlon XPs were based on the older Palomino core, which was still 0.18 micron (many, including me, had hoped it would have migrated to 0.15 or even 0.13 at that time), while these new processors have been finally scaled down to a 0.13 micron copper process.
		Preliminary pricing (in lots of 1,000 units) is stated by AMD to be $397 for the Athlon XP 2800+ and $349 for the Athlon XP 2700+.
