AMD Athlon™ MP Processor for Workstations

wkstn_overview

Get exceptional performance on everything from data-intensive design applications to real-time financial analysis with the AMD Athlon™ MP processor for workstations. Designed for outstanding performance on the world’s most popular workstation applications and committed to providing a high level of output and scalability, the AMD Athlon MP processors empower workstation users worldwide to achieve exceptional productivity.

Performance for Commercial and Enterprise Computing
Visualize, design and animate efficiently with performance-boosting QuantiSpeed™ architecture. As the latest technological enhancement to the award-winning AMD Athlon processor core, QuantiSpeed architecture takes advantage of a nine-issue, fully pipelined, superscalar microarchitecture to provide more pathways to feed instructions to the execution engine. It also features Hardware Data Pre-fetch, Translation Look-aside Buffers (TLBs), and a superscalar floating point unit (FPU) that work together to anticipate your next move, allowing the processor to complete more work in a given clock cycle. The combined features of QuantiSpeed architecture help workstations boot and load applications quickly and deliver outstanding application performance.

AMD Athlon MP processors feature 3DNow!™ Professional technology. With 51 new multimedia instructions and SSE compatibility, 3DNow! Professional technology enhances digital content creation applications and streaming video and audio programs to provide crisp photo images, and a vivid post-production experience.

Reliability through Compatibility
AMD works closely with leading software and O/S vendors to provide exceptional performance of AMD processors on the applications you use most. AMD Athlon processors are designed for compatibility with more than 60,000 applications and are compatible with 32-bit x86 operating systems including Microsoft® Windows®, and multiple Linux and Unix operating systems. These applications include the world’s most popular digital content creation (DCC), computer aided design (CAD), geographic information systems, software development, and financial analysis applications.

Where Scalability Equals Productivity
Achieve exceptional user productivity with the AMD Athlon MP processor for workstations. Dual processor capabilities allow users to assign tasks to one processor while continuing to work on the remaining processor. Users can also minimize peak loads and increase system stability. The AMD Athlon MP processor thrives in processor-intensive applications like software development, animation and CAD/CAM design where top productivity is crucial, performance is paramount, and multitasking is a necessity.

Smart MP technology means the AMD Athlon MP processor allows for a high level of output and scalability via a dual point-to-point (non-sharing) system bus. This effectively doubles the available system bandwidth, reduces data transfer latencies and can help ensure that both processors work to their full potential.

The AMD Athlon MP processor, together with the innovative AMD-760™ MPX chipset, delivers breakthrough performance in a dual processor platform. The AMD-760 MPX chipset is a high-performance, two-way multiprocessor core logic solution for AMD Athlon MP processors. Commercial enterprises can achieve high levels of productivity with the advanced features of the AMD-760 MPX chipset. An enhanced 266MHz system bus, support for DDR memory technology, and an AGP-4X graphics interface work together with sophisticated core logic in memory and I/O control to provide a powerful solution for workstation platforms.
