Do more in less time. The industry’s evolution to multi-core processing is once again marked by AMD’s leadership and dedication to customer-centric innovation with the launch of the AMD Athlon™ 64 X2 Dual-Core processor.
The AMD Athlon™ 64 X2 Dual-Core processor family allows businesses and consumers to do more in less time, enabling true multi-tasking while taking client computing to a whole new level.
AMD’s leadership with multi-core processors follows the company’s success with 64-bit computing. Both innovations illustrate the strategic focus to solve customer challenges while also providing technology breakthroughs to fuel the possibilities of tomorrow.
Customers will realize an immediate benefit from AMD multi-core processors with the capability to run multimedia and security applications with increased performance, as well as enjoy new levels of multi-tasking capabilities – allowing multiple applications to run simultaneously – and an enhanced multimedia experience when using multi-threaded applications.
AMD, along with its partners, is in a technological leadership position as our client dual-core solution marks the planned, natural evolution of the AMD64 architecture, designed from the ground up and compatible with today’s 939-pin infrastructure, providing the least disruption to customers.
- This compatibility eliminates the time and expense for platform manufacturers to redesign their components to allow for the new processors, which represent costs that would be passed on to their customers.
- System builders will also have readily available parts to build their branded products.
AMD will continue to push the boundaries of cinematic computing with the single-core AMD Athlon™ 64 FX processor, the world’s ultimate PC processor for enthusiasts and hard-core gamers seeking high-end performance. |
