AMD PHENOM™ II Processors
True Multi-Core Technology
AMD Phenom™ II processors with second-generation [true multi-core] technology
are designed to provide performance headroom for the most demanding PC gamers and
enthusiasts. Architectural enhancements and 45nm process technology have created
a tuned processing pipeline that helps keep your systems performing at the highest
levels.
Among the features of the AMD Phenom™ II processor:
- Direct Connect Architecture offers award-winning technology
designed to reduce bottlenecks of legacy front-side bus-based architectures through
the use of separate, dedicated high-speed links. Get leading-edge PC system performance
without the delays that can exist when multiple components compete for access to
the processor bus. Competing x86 systems use a single front-side bus (FSB) which
must carry memory access, graphics, and I/O traffic. Eliminate the FSB, and you
can reduce the bottlenecks that competing access requests can cause.
- True Multi-Core Processing has an integrated design featuring
multiple cores within the same processor for optimum multitasking performance. It’s
designed for high performance on demanding multi-threaded applications.
- HyperTransport™ 3.0 Technology has the potential
to increase I/O bandwidth dramatically2. It delivers system agility for
improved 3D graphics performance with full DirectX® 10 capability for a realistic,
high resolution gaming experience and enough bandwidth for ultra-high resolution,
1080p video playback.1 Huge bandwidth can translate into fewer bottlenecks
and higher performance for hard drive access, USB devices, and other I/O and peripherals.
- Total Cache and Enhanced Total Cache enables a better
multitasking and multi-threaded experience and superior processor performance because
each core has its own L2 cache memory and ability to quickly share data among cores
utilizing the L3 cache.
- AMD Wide Floating Point Accelerator offers an ultra-fast
floating-point performance can help improve the performance of applications like
digital media players and immersive 3D games that depend heavily on complex calculations.
- AMD Digital Media XPress™ 2.0 Technology helps
enable sharp and life-like 3D graphics taking the PC user experience to new levels
in games, video, and DVDs.
- Cool'n'Quiet™ 3.0 Technology can provide dramatic
power management improvements, automatically, with no noticeable performance impact.
Cool'n'Quiet™ 3.0 technology includes efficient 45nm multi-core design, improved
power management and additional performance states. With this technology and low
power usage at idle, AMD Phenom™ II processors can give you performance when
you need it and save power when you don’t.
