3. INTRODUCTION
Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) is the world's second
largest manufacturer x86 architecture processors.
World’s fastest Quadcore CPU invented by AMD.
AMD solutions allow you to interact with technology in
your way.
4 out of first 5 supercomputers of the world Today , use
AMD technology.
4. INTRODUCTION
AMD PIONEERED the accelerated processing unit
(APU) with HSA.
Any CPU running at lowest possible temp (-235 C) is
invented by AMD.
One of the largest suppliers of graphics processing
units.
AMD is the only significant rival to Intel in the CPU
market for (x86 based) personal computers.
5. History of AMD Processor
First generation AMD processors like AM2900 were
created in 1975.
Design of this technology is founded on the principles of
slice technology.
The purpose of the slice technology is to make them
compatible.
Next family of microprocessors is x86 Architecture.
AMD's first in-house x86 processor was the K5, which was
launched in 1996.
7. History of AMD Processor
In 1999 AMD introduced World’s first Seventh
generation processor named Athlon.
The Duron was a lower-cost and limited version of the
Athlon .
The K8 was a major revision of the K7 architecture
The most notable features being the addition of a 64-
bit extension to the x86 instruction set.
8. History of AMD Processor
The AMD K8 processor was the first to implement
the x86-64 architecture.
Quad-core Third Generation processor named
Opteron .
Opteron was the first processor to run the AMD86
instruction set.
This processor was aim to compete in the market
with Intel Xeon.
After K8 came K10 In September 2007 named
Sempron.
9. Athlon –
• Max. CPU clock rate -1.0 GHz to
3.2 GHz.
• Instruction set - x86-64, 3DNow!
• Cores - 1, 2 .
10. Pros and cons -
• Has the best gaming processors these days as they have
a larger cache .
• Available in 32-bit or 64-bit.
• Features CPU speed throttling technology
branded Cool'n'Quiet.
• Limited to DDR memory .
• Gets heated up more quickly and need more power to
drive it.
11. Sempron(K8)-
• Max. CPU clock rate --1.0 GHz to 2.9
GHz.
• Front Side Bus Speed - 166 MHz to
2700 MHz.
• Instruction set - x86, AMD64.
• Cores - 1, 2.
12. Pros and cons -
• Basic Productivity.
• E-mail, and Web Browsing.
• Also have integrated virus protection into their cores.
• Built in Power saving technology.
• Associated with very limited media applications.
• Uses crystal® technology, if it works for long time the
crystals start to burn .
13. A Series (Trinity)-
• Max. CPU clock rate – 2.9-4.2 GHz.
• Cores – 2,4.
• Instructions - x86-64, 3DNow!.
• Front Side Bus Speed - 166 MHz to 2700 MHz.
14. Description of Processors
Pros and cons -
• Basic All-Around Use/Productivity.
• Casual Gaming.
• Advanced 3D Graphics.
• DirectX 11 Capable Graphics.
• Run lower in DDR2 RAM than other contemporary
processors .
• Less stable.
15. Why should one have AMD processor -
• AMD chips use less energy and are cheaper than
other chips.
• AMD has adopted Enhanced Virus Protection (EVP).
• It is a processor-level virus blocker.
• AMD has the best gaming processors these days as
they have a larger cache.
16. Summery
Why should one have AMD processor -
• AMD has the most useful Dual Core.
• AMD's have better onboard graphics than any other
CPUs in its range.
• 3D now! Can support a wide range of graphics rich
programs.
17. Summery
And Why Not!!!!
• AMD is limited to DDR memory .
• AMD is less stable.
• Limited Media applications.
• Older processors can overheat quickly.
18. Conclusion
• Delivering higher performance with similar power
consumption at a lower price therefore seems to be
AMD score competence.
• Its platforms were offering significant advantages,
delivering high performance and power efficiency
• AMD was also strongly understanding that end-users
buying behavior .
• AMD’s VISION Technology therefore provides improved
performance and battery life, consequently offering
higher quality and higher quantity.
