The AMD Athlon™ XP Processor
The new AMD Athlon™ XP processor, code-named “Thoroughbred,” is the first AMD desktop processor manufactured on state-of-the-art 130 nanometer copper technology and is the newest member to the family of seventh-generation AMD Athlon processors designed to meet the computationally-intensive requirements of software applications running on high-performance desktop systems. The new AMD Athlon XP processor based on 0.13 micron process technology increases the performance scalability provided by QuantiSpeed architecture by delivering higher clock speeds with lower thermal power. With the manufacturing process shrink from 0.18 micron to 0.13 micron technology, the new AMD Athlon XP processor consumes up to around 25 percent less power when operated at the same frequency as the current AMD Athlon XP processor based on the “Palomino” core. The 0.13 micron process technology shrink provides the thermal headroom necessary to scale frequency within the thermal limits of desktop platforms, thus maximizing overall performance. The new AMD Athlon XP processor based on 0.13 micron process technology is also pin compatible with AMD’s established Socket A infrastructure.
