INTRODUCTION

Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) is the world's second largest

manufacturer x86 architecture processors.

AMD PIONEERED the accelerated processing unit (APU) with

HSA.
AMD solutions allow you to interact with technology in your way.
4 out of first 5 supercomputers of the world Today , use AMD technology.

INTRODUCTION
Worlds fastest Quadcore CPU invented by AMD.

Any CPU running at lowest possible temp (-235 C) is invented

by AMD.
One of the largest suppliers of graphics processing

units.
AMD is the only significant rival toIntelin the CPU

market for (x86 based) personal computers.

History of AMD Processor

First generation AMD processors like AM2900 were created in

1975.
Design of this technology is founded on the principles of slice
technology.
The purpose of the slice technology is to make them

compatible .
Next family of microprocessors is x86 Architecture.
AMD's first in-house x86 processor was theK5,

which was launched in 1996.

History of AMD Processor

In 1999 AMD introduced Worlds first Seventh generation
processor named Athlon.
TheDuronwas a lower-cost and limited version of the

Athlon.

History of AMD Processor

TheAMD K8processor was the first to
implement the x86-64 architecture.
Quad-core Third Generation processor named
Opteron.
Opteron was the first processor to run the AMD86
instruction set. It was released in 2003.
This processor was aim to compete in the market which was
already captured by Intel Xeon.
After K8 cameK10. In September 2007 AMD
released the first K10 processors named
Sempron.

Description of Processors
K5 Max.CPUclock rate - 75MHz to
133MHz .

Front side Bus Speed - 50 MHz to

66 MHz.

Instruction set - x86 .

Cores 1.

Pros
Got the power to take on basic business
applications and the occasional game.
Excellent architectural design and amazing core.
Cheaper than contemporary processors.

Cons

Processors can overheat quickly.

Some programs may not be compatible.
K5's were criticised for being slow and for having a
high heat output.

Description of Processors
Athlon

Max.CPUclock rate -1.0GHz to

3.2GHz.

Instruction set - MMX,SSE,SSE2,

SSE3,x86-64,3DNow!

Cores - 1, 2 .

Description of Processors
Pros Has the best gaming processors these days as

they have a larger cache.

Available in 32-bit or 64-bit.
FeaturesCPUspeed throttling technology
brandedCool'n'Quiet.

Cons
Limited to DDR memory .
Gets heated up more quickly and need more

power to drive it.

Description of Processors
Sempron(K8) Max. CPU clock rate -1.0 GHz to 2.9 GHz.
Front Side Bus Speed - 166MHz to

2700MHz.

Instruction set - x86,AMD64.

Cores - 1, 2.

Description of Processors
Pros

Basic Productivity.
E-mail, and Web Browsing.
Upgraded construction process.
45 nanometer processor.
Also have integrated virus protection into their cores.
Built in Power saving technology.

Cons Associated with very limited media applications.

Uses crystal technology, if it works for long time

the crystals start to burn.

Description of Processors
A Series (Trinity) Max. CPU clock rate 2.9-4.2 GHz.
Cores 2,4.

Instructions - MMX, SSE, SSE2, SSE3,x86-64, 3DNow!

Front Side Bus Speed - 166MHz to 2700MHz.

Description of Processors
Pros
BasicAll-Around Use/Productivity.
Casual Gaming.
Advanced 3D Graphics.
DirectX 11 Capable Graphics.

Cons

Run lower in DDR2 RAM than other contemporary

processors .
Less stable.

Summery
Overall Advantages of AMD Processors
AMD is the only company in the world,
manufactures CPU, GPU and Chipset.
AMD chips use less energy and are cheaper to
other chips.
AMD has adopted Enhanced Virus Protection
(EVP) which is a processor-level virus blocker.
AMD has the best gaming processors these
days as they have a larger cache.

Summery
Overall Advantages of AMD Processors

AMD has the most useful Dual Core.

APU's have better onboard graphics than any
other CPUs in its range.
AMD is the only company in the world,

manufactures CPU, GPU and Chipset.

3D now! Can support a wide range of graphics

rich programs.

Summery
Overall Disadvantages of AMD Processors

AMD is limited to DDR memory.

AMD is less stable.
Limited Media applications.
Older processors can overheat quickly.

Conclusion
Delivering higher performance with similar power consumption at a

lower price therefore seems to be AMD score competence.

Its platforms were offering significant advantages, delivering high

performance and power efficiency

AMD was also strongly understanding that end-users buying behavior

they are not focusing on performance and hardware specifications, but

more on the experience the machine will enable them to live.
AMDs VISION Technology therefore provides improved performance

and battery life, consequently offering higher quality and higher

quantity.
