  2. OUTLINE • AMD Company and Its History • Existing 32-bit systems. • New 64-bit technology • AMD’s Athlon FX Processors • New Technologies used in processors • Performance Results • Conclusion • References AMD Athlon 64 FX-55 Architecture

  3. Advanced Micro Devices Company “Innovation driven by real customer needs — ‘customer-centric innovation’ — is the new path to leadership.” –Hector Ruiz AMD Athlon 64 FX-55 Architecture

  4. AMD Company AMD designs and produces; • Innovative Microprocessors, • Flash Memory Devices, • Low-power Processor Solutions • Silicon-based Solutions • Integrated Circuits AMD Athlon 64 FX-55 Architecture

  5. History of AMD Company • 1969 – Founded in Sunnyvale,CA with a budget of $100.000 • 1970 – First Proprietary Product: Am2501 • 1973 – First Overseas Manifacturing in Malaysia • 1975 – Enters the RAM Market, produces Am2900 Family. • 1987 – AMD merges with Monolithic Inc. AMD Athlon 64 FX-55 Architecture

  6. History of AMD Company • 1991 – Introduces AMD 386® microprocessor family • 1993 - AMD and Fujitsu Establishment • 1993 – First AMD486® produced. • 1997 – Introduces AMD-K6® processor. • 1998 – Collaboration with Motorola. • 1999 – Introduces AMD AthlonTM Processors AMD Athlon 64 FX-55 Architecture

  7. History of AMD Company • 2000 – 1 GHz limit exceeded. • 2000 – AMD-760TM Chipset with DDR Memory • 2001 – First Multiprocessor Platform AMD AthlonTM MP • 2002 – 0.13 Micron technology emerged • 2002 – AMD opens AMD Development Center AMD Athlon 64 FX-55 Architecture

  8. History of AMD Company Last Year, • AMD Opteron processor built on AMD64 Technology • Launches the AMD AthlonTM 64 processors • Introduces “cinematic computing” with AMD Athlon 64 FX microprocessors. • Sun and AMD form strategic alliance. AMD Athlon 64 FX-55 Architecture

  9. 32-bit Computing • Existing systems use 32-bit computing. AMD Athlon 64 FX-55 Architecture

  10. 32-bit Computing • In computer architecture, a word is defined as a unit of data that can be addressed and moved between the computer processor and the storage area. • In 32-bit computing a word is 32 bits. • Usually, the defined bit-length of a word is equivalent to the width of the computer's data bus so that a word can be moved in a single operation from the storage to the processor registers AMD Athlon 64 FX-55 Architecture

  11. 32-bit Computing • In a 32-bit microprocessor; There are 32-bit general purpose registers in the processor. There are 232 = 4GB memory to be addressed. AMD Athlon 64 FX-55 Architecture

  12. 64-bit Computing • The best and simple definition is enhancing the processing word in the architecture to 64 bits. • The addressable memory increases from 4 GB to 264 = 18 billion GB • Data processing speed does not change yet the data processed in a clock cycle increases two times. AMD Athlon 64 FX-55 Architecture

  13. Is 64-bit Computing necessary? AMD Athlon 64 FX-55 Architecture

  14. 64-bit Computing AMD Athlon 64 FX-55 Architecture

  15. Benefits of 64-bit Computing • Allowing applications to store vast amount of data in main memory. • Allowing complex calculations with a high-level precision. • Manipulating data and executing instructions in chunks that are twice as large as in 32-bit computing. AMD Athlon 64 FX-55 Architecture

  16. 32-bit vs. 64-bit Processors AMD Athlon 64 FX-55 Architecture

  17. 64-bit Registers AMD Athlon 64 FX-55 Architecture

  18. AMD Athlon 64 FX Processors “The AMD Athlon™ 64 FX processor is the world’s best PC processor.” -- AMD Inc. AMD Athlon 64 FX-55 Architecture
