Breakthrough Performance in a Dual Processor Platform
Innovations such as Smart MP technology and QuantiSpeed™ architecture make AMD Athlon MP processors stand out from others in their class. Smart MP technology allows the AMD Athlon MP processor to provide a high level of output and scalability via dual point-to-point (non-sharing) 266MHz system buses. With split transaction-based protocol, Smart MP technology allows each CPU to work while continuing to fill data requests; the dedicated bus for each CPU helps deliver better overall performance.

Additional features include an advanced cache coherency protocol to manage data and memory traffic and innovative “snoop” buses to facilitate inter-CPU communications. When all these features combine, Smart MP technology increases available bandwidth, reduces data transfer latencies, and can help ensure both processors work to their full potential.

Get outstanding server performance with QuantiSpeed architecture. By taking advantage of the AMD Athlon MP nine-issue, superscalar, fully pipelined core, QuantiSpeed architecture provides more pathways for instructions to reach the execution engine. This allows the processor to complete more instructions in a given clock cycle. Hardware data pre-fetch, and Translation Look-aside Buffers (TLBs) also support additional data throughput and server transactions to provide exceptional server network performance.

When Compatibility is Key
The AMD Athlon MP processor is designed for outstanding performance on the world’s most popular server applications, including Infrastructure and Collaborative server applications. We’ve worked closely with leading software and O/S vendors to design our processors for compatibility and to offer exceptional performance on more than 60,000 applications. Our processors are designed to be compatible with 32-bit x86 operating systems including Microsoft® Windows®, and multiple Linux and Unix operating systems.

By remaining dedicated to achieving product compatibility and seamless integration with the enterprise applications, AMD has built strong relationships with many of our industry partners. In fact, the close relationship between Microsoft and AMD dates back more than a decade.
