The AMD Athlon 64 FX processor features innovative technology to provide extraordinary performance and a computing experience without parallel. The AMD Athlon 64 FX processor runs on AMD64, a revolutionary technology that 1) allows the processor to run 32-bit applications at full speed while enabling the coming wave of powerful, 64-bit software applications, and 2) provides Enhanced Virus Protection when used with the Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2). AMD64 technology shatters barriers to new and advanced software that require 64-bit technology and blazing processor performance. Power-hungry enthusiasts, gamers, and prosumers can explore the full potential of AMD64 technology while enjoying outstanding performance on today's PC software.
Features:
AMD64 technology for simultaneous high performance 32- and 64-bit computing.
Enhanced Virus Protection and the upcoming Windows XP SP2 are designed to prevent the spread of certain viruses, like MSBlaster and Slammer; significantly reducing the cost and down-time associated with similar viruses and improving the protection of computers and personal information against certain PC viruses.
128-bit integrated DDR memory controller Up to 6.4GB/sec memory bandwidth for breakthrough performance and extraordinary cinematic computing experiences.
HyperTransport technology enabling increased bandwidth and reduced I/O bottlenecks for increased system performance and better multitasking. High performance doesn't have to mean lots of heat and noise. AMD Athlon 64 desktop processors feature innovative Cool'n'Quiet technology that enables systems to run quieter, providing performance on demand.
