Do Not Distribute
Server/Workstation Technologies
Offers improved performance and
performance/watt
The extensive AMD64 architectural optimizations and
features enabled thorough integration of multiple cores
within the same processor, with each core having its own
L1 and L2 caches
Multi-core optimized
Provides optimized memory
performance, balanced throughput,
expandable I/O, and more linear
symmetrical multiprocessing
Eliminates the real challenges and bottlenecks of system
architectures through the use of separate, dedicated high-
speed links
• between the processor and main memory
• between the processor and I/O
• between the central CPU and other processors
• between CPU cores within the same processor
Direct Connect Architecture
Helps reduce the number of buses in
a system, which can reduce system
bottlenecks and enable today’s faster
microprocessors to use system
memory more efficiently in high-end
multiprocessing systems
A high-speed, low latency, point-to-point communication
link, providing greater bandwidth between system
components
HyperTransport™
technology
Reduces latencies during memory
access resulting in increased
performance and productivity
Directly connects CPUs to memory, optimizing memory
performance and bandwidth per CPU
Integrated Memory
Controller
Supports both 32-bit and 64-bit
applications running at the same time
Permits continued use of 32-bit
software until the end user decides to
transition to 64-bit software
AMD64 technology enables a breakthrough approach to
64-bit computing that doubles the number of registers in
the processor, and offers leading-edge performance on
today’s 32-bit software applications while enabling a
seamless migration to the 64-bit computing future
Simultaneous 32-bit and 64-
bit computing
