Amd Athlon Processors History began with the original Athlon Classic, which is the first seventh-generation x86 processor and since it is the first, it remained to be the first performance lead over Intel for a couple of years.

It showed a lot of promise as it showed superior performance compared to the Pentium 3 which was the champion at that time. The second generation called The Athlon Thunderbird came in 2000. It had a speed of 600 to 1400 MHz. AMD replaced the 512 KiB external cache speed reduced by the Athlon Classic with 256 KiB of on-chip cache exclusive full speed. The Thunderbird at the time won over rival AMD Pentium 3, but not stop it. AMD released The Palomino or Athlon XP. XP in the sense of “Extreme Performance“. Then, the AMD Thunderbird released at 1.8 GHz. Then the fifth-generation Athlon arrived, Barton-core processors, running at the same speed as the Thoroughbred predecessors.More …

Finally, the Mobile Athlon XP was introduced. It has lower power consumption, lower heat and the production is basically for the notebook. AMD is not stopping, and is even further to improve its processors to beat, as the competitor Intel. See cpu-lab.com for more information on the AMD processor.

Is that the end of that time. See U next time for new information for all U guys,
