AMD Athlon XP Processor 1800+ in Retail Box
w/QuantiSpeed Architecture and 3DNow Pro

 
 

The AMD Athlon XP Processor 1800+ w/Quantispeed Architecture sets a new performance standard

 

 
Product Description:


 
Features And Benefits
 


 

AMD Athlon™ XP processor 1800+

The AMD Athlon™ XP processor 1800+ with QuantiSpeed™ architecture is the newest member of the AMD Athlon family of processors, and is designed to provide “extra performance” for end users. The AMD Athlon™ XP processor balances improvements in the amount of work done per clock cycle while increasing the processor frequency.

The AMD Athlon XP processor with QuantiSpeed architecture offer a “quantum leap” in processor technology. The performance meets or exceeds the performance of competitive processors that operate at greater frequencies, thus demonstrating that processor performance is no longer determined by frequency alone. The AMD Athlon XP processors are optimized for the execution of real-world and mission-critical applications, and can handle the computation-intensive requirements of cutting-edge software applications.


QuantiSpeed™ architecture
9 issue, fully pipelined, superscalar micro-architecture
Dynamic instruction schedulers
Larger on-chip caches
Advanced branch prediction
Encompassing the AMD Athlon XP processor’s core architectural features, offering superior overall application performance.

3DNow!™ Professional
Performance
Compatibility

Software specifically tuned for 3DNow!™ Professional means better performance in computation-intensive applications like digital content creation and multimedia encoding for streaming servers.
The AMD Athlon™ XP processor incorporates 3DNow!™ Professional technology, 52 new instructions which further extend the capability of 3DNow!™ technology to more software than any other processor in the world.

High Performance Full-Speed Cache
Exclusive and speculative Translation Look-aside Buffers (TLB)
Hardware Data Pre-fetch
The AMD Athlon™ XP processor includes an innovative new cache architecture featuring an exclusive and speculative L2 TLB and data pre-fetch. This technology proactively feeds data to the processor before you need it, minimizing data search times and maximizing system performance and throughput.

Superscalar FPU
Performance

The AMD Athlon XP™ boasts the fastest x87 floating point engine in its class. The world's only 3-pipe superscalar floating point unit designed to provide unsurpassed floating point performance allowing developers the ability to visualize, design and animate in less time, thus improving creativity and your productivity goals.

Advanced FSB
8bit ECC
266MHz

AMD Athlon system bus featuring 266MHz with 8-bit ECC provides the reliability and system bandwidth demanded to power mission-critical applications.

(Performance = IPC x Frequency)
The AMD Athlon™ XP processor with QuantiSpeed architecture maintains a balance by increasing the amount of work done per clock cycle, while improving the frequency at the same time. Processor performance is no longer determined by frequency alone, as the AMD Athlon XP processor delivers better performance in real-world applications that meets or exceeds the performance of competitive processors that operate at greater frequencies.

Most people have been led to believe that, in computers, megahertz equals performance; the higher the frequency of the microprocessor, the faster the software will run. More sophisticated PC users know this is not true when comparing different processors.

The expectation has been set that work per clock and frequency increase with each progressive processor generation. The Intel Pentium® 4 broke this paradigm by decreasing work per clock from previous generations. In fact, the P4 processor actually is 20 percent less efficient than the previous generation Pentium III processors. This means many software programs may run slower, even though the Intel processor runs at a higher frequency. End users who rely solely on the megahertz as an indicator of relative performance are the victims of this missed expectation.

The end user needs a more accurate measure of software performance than simply a processor’s frequency (MHz/GHz). AMD plans to drive an initiative with industry leaders—OEMs, infrastructure partners, channels and software vendors—to give end users a new and complete measure of performance. This new performance metric is planned for rollout in 2002.

Today, AMD introduces a bridge metric based on model numbers with its new desktop processor, the AMD Athlon™ XP processor, which is based on the “Palomino” core. The new “XP” modifier signifies that the “Palomino” processor core delivers “Xtra Performance.” The AMD Athlon XP processor features the patented QuantiSpeed™ architecture that delivers a quantum leap in application performance.

AMD Athlon XP processor has the extra performance essential to the ultimate Microsoft® Windows® XP computing experience. Software applications to support video editing, CD burning, Web publishing and more are driving the demand for performance. The Windows XP operating system will make these multimedia applications easier to use.

AMD’s model numbering system indicates a relative application performance between AMD processors. Larger model numbers represent better AMD processor performance. The benchmarks used to determine the AMD model numbering system represent a broad array of real-world applications. They were selected to cover the various ways end users use their PCs, including office productivity, visual computing (digital content creation) and 3D applications (games).

MT46v16m8-75a is a 16 chip 168 Pin PC2100 266MHz
(133MHz x2) Dual Data Rate (DDR) SDRAM DIMM. The
module consists of 8 16x8 TSOP-II 400mil package with
256x8 EEPROM for serial presence detect, programmed
for Super Fast CL2 Timings

•184 pin Dual In-Line Memory Module (DIMM)
•Utilizing 133MHzx2 DDR SDRAM components
•Commands entered on each positive CK edge
•Internal, pipelined double data rate (DDR); 2 accesses per clock cycle
•6 Layer Printed Circuit Board
•Height 1.25” double sided
•Programmable burst lengths:2, 4,or 8
•VDD and VDDQ=2.5V+/-0.2V
•4 internal banks

Fast IC's
CL2 or CAS 2 Timing on DDR SDRAM is exceptionally fast.
Almost all DDR is built with the slower but standard CL2.5
Some systems have been known to run up to a 300MHz Bus with similar spec memory. We do not recommend overclocking but this spec memory is what you might use. Improper overclocking can cause damage to your system and the memory and would void your warranty.

Hi I am I have already built this system it works very great all my sources have been from Pricewatch they have the best deals in the world.

Here are some links that will help you build this pc.

And if you still are a little confused and if you have cable watch a show called thescreensavers check your local listings.

 

Also people are confused about wether they should get a Intel or AMD.

Dont even think about getting an Intel Processor it is 5 times more expensive and slower than the fastest Amd processor.

If you dont believe me check out some benchmarks online that prove my point.
