Product Features

Powerful Multi-Core Processing
Enables improved multi-tasking performance for today’s more demanding PC users so they can run multiple applications and do more in less time.

  • The extensive AMD64 architectural optimizations and features enable thorough integration of multiple cores within the same processor, with each core having its own L1 and L2 caches
AMD Dedicated Multi-cache
Supports better multitasking and better overall processor performance because each core has its own L2 cache memory.

  • Each core has its own dedicated L2 cache, which enables simultaneous independent core access to cache, eliminating the need for cores to arbitrate for cache access. This reduces latency on L2 cache access.
AMD Virtualization™ Technology
Enables IT managers to get the most out of hardware by “co-locating” legacy and modern operating systems, installing trusted and untrusted partitions on the same hard-disk or using the same machine for both client-facing and business-facing applications.

  • Silicon feature-set enhancements designed to improve the performance, reliability, and security of existing and future virtualization environments
Operating System Compatibility
AMD Athlon X2 dual-core processors for notebook PCs are designed to be compatible with Windows® XP Professional x64 Edition, Microsoft Windows® XP Professional, Windows XP Home Edition, Windows 98, Windows ME, Windows NT®, Windows 2000, Linux®, and other PC operating systems, including Windows Vista™.
