Dual-core AMD64 technology enables advanced multi-tasking capabilities and outstanding multimedia performance. For example, users will be able to burn CDs or DVDs, while simultaneously unzipping compressed files, and encoding high-resolution videos, all while running robust security applications in the background.
Because AMD uses existing manufacturing processes to produce dual-core AMD64 processors, the power envelope for AMD dual-core processors is designed to fit into the current sockets and power infrastructures. Additionally, AMD's compatibility eliminates the need for costly platform redesigns, which enables a more cost-effective dual-core technology transition for customers. AMD's industry-standard, dual-core processors are a natural extension of AMD64 technology with Direct Connect Architecture. Our innovative Direct Connect Architecture connects multiple processors, the memory controller and the I/O directly to the central processing unit, helping to eliminate the bottlenecks inherent in a front-side bus.
