	X-bit labs - Print version
		Therefore, it is not at all surprising that the first Athlon 64 processors to use the new Winchester core appeared CPUs for Socket939 platform.
		In fact, the transition of the Athlon 64 processor family to the new 90nm Winchester core doesn’t lead to any features changes or working frequency increase for this CPU family.
		The new Athlon 64 3000+ yields to a similar Socket 754 processor because of lower clock frequency.

	AMD unveils details of its 64-bit chip - CNET News.com
		As expected, the chipmaker launched several varieties of the new chip, including an Athlon 64 FX processor for desktops and three Athlon 64 models for desktops and notebooks.
		AMD said the Athlon 64 and its server sibling, the Opteron, will be moved from 130 nanometers to a 90-nanometer manufacturing process in the first half of 2004.
		Although AMD briefly had the fastest clock speed with the original Athlon chip, Meyer said the company has learned that it must continue to advance its chips during their lifetime, or they will be quickly surpassed by Intel.

	AMD Athlon 64 X2 4800+ dual-core CPU \| The Register
		Athlon 64 X2 continues to use Socket 939; the fabrication process is 90nm using SOI (silicon on insulator); the 128-bit memory controller is compatible with PC1600, PC2100, PC2700 and PC3200 DDR, although you'd be barking mad to use anything but top-notch memory; and there's one bi-directional 1GHz Hyper Transport link.
		Compare that to the 130nm Athlon 64 4000+ and Athlon 64 FX-55 which have cores that use 105.9m transistors but which have an area of 193sq mm and you'll see what an effective die-shrink can bring to the party.
		The Athlon 64 X2 4800+ has a nominal operating voltage of 1.35-1.40V and a TDP (Thermal Design Power) of 110W which compares very favourably to the FX-55 at 104W and the 4000+ at 89W.

	AMD Athlon 64 3400+ Review
		When the Athlon 64 FX-51 debuted on September 23 of 2003, we were blown away by its performance.
		Until now, AMD’s Athlon 64 3200+ was the only alternative for gamers looking to benefit from an integrated memory controller and 1MB of L2 cache (plus the promise of 64-bit compliance whenever that becomes a necessity).
		Not only is Newcastle the core designation for AMD’s affordable Athlon 64, but it is also the name of a football club in England, a university in Australia, and a popular brown ale.

	AMD delays 64-bit Athlon chip \| CNET News.com
		Athlon 64, originally slated for the end of 2001, was set to come out at the end of last year, but in September the company pushed it back to the first quarter of 2003.
		The Opteron and Athlon 64 chips are both based on a new technology AMD calls x86-64.
		One of the main advances of the move to 64 bits is that it lets computers such as servers support much larger amounts of memory than current AMD Athlon chips, which address only 32 bits of data.

	AMD Athlon 64 3700+ Review, Page One
		The Athlon 64 3700+ was this final processor of the group released, and it looks to be the final Athlon 64 processor for the Socket 754 market, which for many users is quite unfortunate.
		Those that bought up the Athlon 64 before the introduction of the socket 939 architecture thought they would still be receiving processor updates for years to come.
		The Athlon 64 3700+ is based on the same core as the Athlon FX-53, except it does not feature the dual memory channel architecture.

	AMD renovates Athlon 64 \| Tech News on ZDNet
		The chipmaker is doing so by increasing shipments of a new version of its desktop Athlon 64 based on a processor core dubbed Newcastle and by launching a new mobile Athlon XP chip based on the circuitry of the Athlon 64.
		The move to a smaller cache basically shows that AMD is on track with the Athlon 64, because the company had planned to move to a smaller cache as clock speeds increased, one executive at the company said.
		Meanwhile, AMD is expected to use Newcastle as the basis for higher Athlon 64 model numbers in the future.

	bit-tech.net \| AMD Athlon 64 FX-60
		At that time, AMD stated that the Athlon 64 FX would still be targeted at the gamers and would be the fastest CPU for gaming.
		While we don't fully agree with this, as the performance difference at realistic playable settings in games between the fastest Athlon 64 and Athlon 64 X2 was not very large at all, AMD has waited for games to start benefitting from the second processor before it has targeted the Athlon 64 FX at the gamer.
		On the other hand, the two cores on an Athlon 64 X2 talk to each other via the system request interface, which is located on the CPU die.

	AMD launches new Athlon 64 processors \| InfoWorld \| News \| 2004-06-01 \| By Tom Krazit, IDG News Service
		The Athlon FX-53 is a specialized Athlon 64 chip that caters to a small group of PC users that demand the most performance available.
		In order for the Athlon 64 processors to take advantage of dual-channel DDR (double data rate) memory modules, AMD needed to increase the number of pins to accommodate the wider memory channels.
		Athlon 64 chips based on the older core technology, such as the new 3700+ chip, come with 1MB of cache, he said.

	Athlon 64 3400+ model number criticism
		We'll use THG's Athlon 64 3400+ review as an example, since it was critical of the chip's performance and its benchmarks generally show the P4 in a good light; but this could be applied to any review.
		Athlon 64 was no doubt the catalyst for that winning margin.
		When one looks at what the Athlon 64 platform brings to the enthusiast, it really does look like the chipmaker is holding all the gaming platform aces.

		With 128 Kbytes of L1 cache and 1 Mbyte of L2 cache, the AMD Athlon 64 processor is able to excel at performing matrix calculations on arrays.
		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.

	AnandTech: AMD Athlon 64 4000+ & FX-55: A Thorough Investigation
		Recently AMD made the transition to 90nm with their Athlon 64, but did so on lower clocked parts, much like what Intel used to do whenever they would introduce a new manufacturing process.
		The first 90nm Athlon 64s came in the flavor of 3000+, 3200+ and 3500+ chips on the desktop, and despite initial overclocking success, 2.2GHz was the highest clock speed AMD introduced at 90nm.
		Not to be held back by the move to 90nm, AMD continued with the release of two new flagship chips: the Athlon 64 4000+ and the Athlon 64 FX-55.

		The 940 pin Athlon 64 FX-51 is in fact a disguised Opteron at 2.2 GHz and the memory controller requires registered or buffered DDR RAM.
		Athlon 64 FX boards allow you to use up four 2 GB DIMMS (very expensive) for a total of 8 GB of RAM.
		So the Athlon 64 FX is a true 64 bit workstation CPU: ECC, 64-bit addressing, and a platform that can break the 4 GB memory limit.
