Overview

AMD DuronTM & AthlonTM Processors

The AMD AthlonTM is a seventh-generation micro architecture with an integrated

L2 cache, which is powerful enough to support the bandwidth requirements of a

large range of applications, hardware, graphics, and memory technologies. These

processors implement advanced design techniques such as:

Socket A (PGA 462)

200/266MHz system interface based on the Alpha™ EV6 bus protocol.

Three out-of-order, superscalar, pipelined Multimedia Units.

Three out-of-order, superscaler, pipelined Integer Units.

Fixed-sized internal instruction formats (MacroOPs).

72-entry Instruction Control Units.

AMD enhanced 3DNow!™ technology

L1 and L2 caches.

Dynamic branch prediction.

Socket A is the name for AMD’s new socketed interface designed to support both

AMD DuronTM and AMD AthlonTM processors. This innovation is made possible

by integrating the L2 cache memory on chip with the processor. Socket A will

help enable smaller enclosures, and ultimately result in a wider variety of solu-

tions in the market.

The AMD DuronTM & AthlonTM processors in the Socket A format continue to

deliver the ultimate performance for cutting-edge applications. Both bring to

desktop systems running industry-standard x86 software superscalar RISC

performance. Being provided in the Socket A format they are the world’s most

powerful x86 processors. They easily deliver the highest integer, floating-point,

and 3D multimedia performance for applications running on x86 platforms

around.

Introduction

Page 1-3

The AMD DuronTM processor is derived from the AMD AthlonTM processor core.

It features full-speed, on-chip cache memory, a 200MHz front side system bus,

and enhanced 3DNow!™ technology. Although both processors are related, there

are key differences. The AMD AthlonTM processor is targeted at the performance

segment, and as such will have more cache memory and higher clock speeds.

Accelerated Graphics Port

(AGP or A.G.P.)

Typically, 3D graphics rendering requires a tremendous amount of memory, and

demands ever increasing throughput speed as well. As 3D products for the

personal computer become more and more popular, these demands will only

increase. This will cause a rise in costs for both end users and manufacturers.

Lowering these costs as well as improving performance is the primary motivation

behind AGP. By providing a massive increase in the bandwidth available between

the video card and the processor, it will assist in relieving some of these pressures

for quite sometime.

Ultra ATA/66/100

The board provides two channel (one channel is optional) Ultra ATA/66/100 Bus

Master IDE controller, that support Ultra ATA/66/100 protocols, perfect for such

demanding applications as real-time video, multimedia, and high performance

operating system. A new IDE cable is required for Ultra ATA/66/100. This cable

is an 80 conductor cable; however the connectors are, of course, backwards

compatible with ATA/33.

Hardware Monitoring

Hardware monitoring allows you to monitor various aspects of your systems

operations and status. The features include CPU temperature, voltage and RPM of

fan.

Introduction

Page 1-4

Mainboard Form-Factor

The board is designed with ATX form factor - the new industry standard of chassis.

ATX form factor is essentially a Baby-AT baseboard rotated 90 degrees within the

chassis enclosure and a new mounting configuration for the power supply. With

these changes the processor is relocated away from the expansion slots, allowing

them all to hold full length add-in cards. ATX defines a double height aperture to

the rear of the chassis which can be used to host a wide range of onboard I/O.

Only the size and position of this aperture is defined, allowing PC manufacturers

to add new I/O features (e.g.; TV input, TV output, joystick, modem, LAN, etc.) to

systems. This will help systems integrators differentiate their products in the

marketplace, and better meet your needs.

• Smaller size promotes a smaller system size.

• I/O shield does not need to be retooled in an ATX 2.01 or later. The

mainboard should be used in an ATX 2.01 (or later) compliant case.

• A smaller power supply can be used. High integration on mainboard

reduces the system costs.

Power-On/Off (Remote)

The board has a single 20-pin connector for ATX power supplies. For ATX power

supplies that support the Remote On/Off feature, this should be connected to the

systems front panel for system Power On/Off button. The systems power On/Off

button should be a momentary button that is normally open.

The board has been designed with “Soft Off" functions. You can turn Off the

system from one of two sources: The first is the front panel Power On/Off

button, and the other is the "Soft Off" function (coming from the M/B’s onboard

circuit controller) that can be controlled by the operating system such

asWindows®95/98/SE/ME or Windows®2000.
