Overview:

Ake your pc's megatasking abilities to extreme levels with the first native 8-core desktop processor built with dynamic, tuneable performance to handle multiple intensive apps without breaking a sweat.

• Advanced 3d gaming
• Complex 3d modeling
• Hd video editing

Amd processor-in-a-box

• Now you can build your own processor-in-a-box (pib) and get exactly what you want from a premium or an innovative .
• Secured with tamper-resistant packaging and bar-coded for tracking, each amd pib comes with:
• A high-performance amd processor
• Amd-qualified heat sink & fan with thermal interface
• Installation manual
• Amd processor case sticker
• Certificate of authenticity

Amd turbo core technology

• Helps boost performance on the applications that need it most

New instruction capabilities

• Avx - advanced vector extensions increase parallelism for scientific & 3d apps using heavy floating point calculations
• Fma4 & xop – floating-point vector multiply-accumulate & extended operations improves throughput & performance on many integer & floating point vector functions
• Aes - advanced encryption standard increases performance on encryption apps like truecrypt & pcmark

Amd balanced smart cache

• Shared l3 cache (up to 8mb) for improved scheduling & pre-fetch capabilities
  • 64-ways (16-ways/sub-cache)
  • Increased data queue sizes
  • Coherency for 8 cores

Amd wide floating point accelerator

• Shared fp scheduler
• Dual 128-bit floating point engines can team together for 256-bit avx instructions or operate separately with each core

Hypertransport technology

• One 16-bit link at up to 5600mt/s
• Up to 8.0gb/s hypertransport i/o bandwidth; up to 16gb/s in hypertransport generation 3.0 mode
• Up to 37gb/s total delivered processor-to-system bandwidth (hypertransport bus + memory bus)

Integrated dram controller with amd memory optimizer technology

• A high-bandwidth, low-latency integrated memory controller
• Supports up to ddr3-1866 with 1 dpc (dimm per channel) in single memory slot motherboard designs
• Supports new low voltage memories of 1.35v & 1.2v
• Up to 29.9gb/s memory bandwidth for ddr3
• New pre-fetcher improvements
• Direct communications to each core in dual-core module (apic registers in each core)

Amd virtualization (amd-v ) technology with iommu

• Silicon feature-set enhancements for improved performance, reliability & security of existing & future virtualization environments by allowing virtualized apps direct, rapid access to their allocated memory
• Iommu is an extension to amd64 architecture to support address translation & access protection on dma transfers
• Security for user-level application & virtual machine guest os
• Address translation & access control
• Device isolation
• Device assignment in virtualized systems
• Security & trusted boot support
• Unified interrupt management

Amd powernow! Technology (cool'n'quiet technology)

• Automatically & instantaneously adjusts performance states & features based on processor performance requirements
• C6 power state for cache flush & voltage down individual cores
• Cc6 power state allows all cores in c6 to power even lower for quieter operation & reduced power requirements
• Separate memory controller power control
• I/o-based c-state interface
• Works automatically without the need for drivers or bios enablement
• Power can be switched on or off within a single clock cycle, saving energy with no impact on performance
