Overview
The AMD Athlon™ XP processor model 6 with QuantiSpeed™
architecture powers the next generation in computing platforms,
delivering extreme performance for Windows™ XP.
The AMD Athlon™ XP processor model 6 is the latest member
of the AMD Athlon family of processors designed to meet the
computation-intensive requirements of cutting-edge software
applications running on high-performance desktop systems.
Delivered in an OPGA package, the AMD Athlon XP processor
model 6 delivers the integer, floating-point, and 3D multimedia
performance needed for highly demanding applications running
on x86 system platforms. The AMD Athlon XP processor model 6
delivers compelling performance for cutting-edge software
applications that include high-speed Internet capability, digital
content creation, digital photo editing, digital video, image
compression, video encoding for streaming over the Internet,
soft DVD, commercial 3D modeling, workstation-class
Computer-Aided Design (CAD), commercial desktop publishing,
and speech recognition. The AMD Athlon XP processor model 6
also offers the scalability and reliability that IT managers and
business users require for enterprise computing.
The AMD Athlon XP processor model 6 features a
seventh-generation microarchitecture with an integrated,
exclusive L2 cache, which supports the growing processor and
system bandwidth requirements of emerging software, graphics,
I/O, and memory technologies. The high-speed execution core of
the AMD Athlon XP processor model 6 includes multiple x86
instruction decoders, a dual-ported 128-Kbyte split level-one
(L1) cache, an exclusive 256-Kbyte L2 cache, three independent
integer pipelines, three address calculation pipelines, and a
superscalar, fully pipelined, out-of-order, three-way
floating-point engine. The floating-point engine is capable of
delivering outstanding performance on numerically complex
applications.
The features of the AMD Athlon XP processor model 6 are
QuantiSpeed™ architecture, a high-performance full-speed
cache, a 266-MHz, 2.1-Gigabyte per second system bus, and
3DNow!™ Professional technology. The AMD Athlon system
bus combines the latest technological advances, such as
point-to-point topology, source-synchronous packet-based
transfers, and low-voltage signaling to provide an extremely
powerful, scalable bus for an x86 processor.
