Key Architectural Features
AMD Athlon™ X2 Dual-Core Processor for Notebook PCs




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

Mobile Optimized Memory Controller
Enables dramatic application performance improvements with increased system bandwidth so users get a better PC experience with low latency and long battery life.
  • PC2-5300 (DDR2-667), PC2-4200/4300 (DDR2-533) SDRAM unbuffered DIMMs
  • Up to 10.7 GB/s memory bandwidth
HyperTransport™ Technology
  • Up to 14.4 GB HyperTransport I/O bandwidth
AMD Dedicated Multi-cache
Supports improved multitasking and 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 helps reduce 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
Simultaneous 32-bit and 64-bit Computing
Today's PC users can take advantage of the latest innovation in computing, Windows Vista® 64-bit Edition, and the next generation of applications that are expected to deliver even greater performance.
  • AMD64 technology enables a breakthrough approach to 64-bit computing that doubles the number of registers in the processor, and allows PC users to use today's 32-bit software applications while enabling them to also use the next generation of 64-bit applications
