An optimum balance between work per clock cycle and operating frequency

QuantiSpeed™ architecture is a key selling point for your customers.

QuantiSpeed Architecture allows the AMD Athlon™ XP processor to accomplish more work per clock cycle (IPC) when compared to competing PC processors and achieve relatively high operating frequencies. With QuantiSpeed architecture today’s PC takes a "quantum leap" in application performance.

To the end user this means a dramatic increase in application speed, performance and production, creating the ultimate computing experience.

At the heart of QuantiSpeed architecture is a:

• Nine-issue, fully pipelined, superscalar microarchitecture
• Superscalar, fully pipelined floating point unit (FPU)
• Hardware data pre-fetch
• Exclusive and speculative Translation Look-aside Buffers (TLBs)
