Enhanced Virus Protection

Built on AMD64 architecture, the AMD Athlon™ 64 processor is designed to deliver outstanding levels of performance and customer-focused innovation to home and business users alike.

AMD64 technology is AMD’s approach to 64-bit computing which doubles the number of processor registers and increases the addressable memory space well beyond 4GB for increased performance and new, cinematic-computing experiences. Processors with AMD64 technology offer leadingedge performance on today’s software applications while enabling a seamless migration to future 64-bit computing.

AMD64 Technology enables the industry to advance software development on all fronts, with x86 compatibility, while providing the capability of delivering 64-bit technology benefits.

Features

	Enhanced Virus Protection All AMD64 processors, including the AMD Athlon™ 64 FX, AMD Athlon 64, and Mobile AMD Athlon 64 processors, are enabled with Enhanced Virus Protection. With Microsoft® Windows® XP Service Pack 2 (SP2), you will be able to fully utilize the security technology*. By providing extra security at the platform level, AMD lets you easily embrace the future of computing.
	AMD Athlon™ 64 AMD64 improves performance for many applications by evolving this industry-standard technology from a 32- to a 64-bit architecture. 64-bit computing allows operating systems and software to process more data and access a tremendous amount of memory. AMD64 is an industry-standard approach to 64-bit technology that combines innovation, simplicity, and foresight to deliver the next generation of performance—today.
	HyperTransport™ Technology HyperTransport™ technology is a high performance, easy-to-implement system interconnect technology originally invented by AMD. It is designed to increase overall system performance by removing I/O bottlenecks, increasing bandwidth, and reducing latency. HyperTransport technology implemented in the AMD Athlon™ 64 FX processor enables a system bus to run at 1600MHz.
	AMD Cool‘n’Quiet™ Technology In the past, increased processor performance has often meant increased power consumption and increased noise levels. AMD Cool‘n’Quiet™ technology is an innovative solution available on AMD Athlon™ 64 processor-based systems that can effectively lower the power consumption and enable a quieter-running system while delivering performance on demand, for the ultimate computing experience.
