AMD Preliminary Information
1 Overview
The AMD Sempron™ processor model 10 with QuantiSpeed™
architecture powers the next generation in computing
platforms, delivering extreme performance for Windows
®
XP.
The AMD Sempron processor model 10, based on leading-edge
0.13 micron technology and increased on-chip cache, integrates
the innovative design and manufacturing expertise of AMD to
deliver improved performance while maintaining the stable
and compatible Socket A infrastructure of the AMD Sempron
processor.
Delivered in an OPGA package, the AMD Sempron processor
model 10 delivers the integer, floating-point, and 3D
multimedia performance for highly demanding applications
running on x86 system platforms. The AMD Sempron processor
model 10 delivers compelling performance for cutting-edge
software applications that include high-speed Internet
capability, digital content creation, digital photo editing, digital
video, image compression, video encoding for streaming over
the Internet, soft DVD, commercial 3D modeling,
workstation-class computer-aided design (CAD), commercial
desktop publishing, and speech recognition. The AMD Sempron
processor model 10 also offers the scalability and reliability
that IT managers and business users require for enterprise
computing.
The AMD Sempron processor model 10 features a
seventh-generation microarchitecture with an integrated,
exclusive L2 cache, which supports the growing processor and
system bandwidth requirements of emerging software,
graphics, I/O, and memory technologies. The high-speed
execution core of the AMD Sempron processor model 10
includes multiple x86 instruction decoders, a dual-ported
128-Kbyte split level-one (L1) cache, an exclusive 512-Kbyte L2
cache, three independent integer pipelines, three address
calculation pipelines, and a superscalar, fully pipelined,
out-of-order, three-way floating-point engine. The floating-point
engine is capable of delivering outstanding performance on
numerically complex applications.
The features of the AMD Sempron processor model 10 include
QuantiSpeed architecture, 640 Kbytes of total, high-
