Cool'n'Quiet technology
Optimized performance states help save energy while minimizing the latency and overhead of power management. The processor can efficiently respond to user demands, maximizing performance to deliver a superior PC user experience. -
AMD CoolCore technology
AMD CoolCore technology automatically reduces processor energy consumption by dynamically activating or turning off parts of the processor. -
AMD Smart Fetch technology
AMD Smart Fetch technology enables processor cores to share data before entering a halting state so active cores don't have to activate to retrieve data. -
Dual Dynamic Power Management
Dual Dynamic Power Management helps improve platform efficiency by providing on demand memory performance while enabling decreased system power consumption. -
Multi-Point Thermal Control
Multi-Point Thermal Control helps reduce speed and heat when temperature exceeds predefined limits, enabling a cool and quiet PC experience. -
Outstanding 32-bit performance
Offers superior performance on today's software applications. Increases memory addressability for enhanced computing experiences. Creates a significant performance gain for applications in which large (or many) datasets are held in memory. -
Cutting-edge AMD64 technology
Doubles the number of processor registers and increases memory addressability. Enables seamless migration to 64-bit computing. Allows users to run 32-bit and/or 64-bit applications and operating systems as they desire - without sacrificing performance. -
HyperTransport technology
Reduces I/O bottlenecks, increases bandwidth, and reduces latency. Enables a system bus to run at up to 1600MHz. Supports up to 9.6GB/sec processor-to-system bandwidth. Provides high-speed I/O communications for your current and future application needs. -
Integrated memory controller
Reduces latencies during memory access in a SMP server system. Delivers fast computational processing for increased performance and productivity.
