Tuesday, January 31st, 2006 | CPU Processor Reviews, Reviews

AMD Athlon 64 X 2 4800+ dual core processor has brought a revolution in the world of technology. With this model you can actually work fastest and quickest without having to look at the hourglass icon and sit for hours waiting for downloads and installations.

This dual-core processor increases the performance level of a system by at least 80-85%. The model puts the power of advanced dual-core technology on the desktop. It also contains two processing cores, residing on one chip that performs calculations on two different streams of data and thereby increases efficiency and speed even while running a variety of programs and new multi-threaded software.

Here are the significant features of AMD Athlon dual-core processor:

• Delivers true multi-tasking offering users to easily switch from one program to another without processing pauses.
• Increases office productivity performance.
• Allows amazing photo-editing, high-definition video, audio mixing and content creation.

The fully integrated DDR memory controller offers to provide hi-speed access to memory by offering the processor a direct connection to the actual memory. This results in allowing the users to enjoy quicker application loading and extraordinary application performance of the computer system.

AMD Athlon 64 X2 4800+ dual processor comes with almost the same features as the AMD 3800+ dual processor. The Cool’n’Quiet technology used in this model reduces heat output of your PC, reduces power consumption, and keeps your home quiet, for they produce less noise.

The processor uses HyperTransport technology, which provides significantly more bandwidth than other current technologies, uses low latency responses and low pin counts, maintains compatibility with legacy PC buses while being extensible to new SNA [Systems Network Architecture] buses, appears transparent to other operating systems and offers very little impact on peripheral drivers.

List of specifications of AMD 64 X2 4800 processor:

• Processor speed – 64 4800+ / 2.0 GHz
• Bus speed – 2000 MHz
• Voltage – 1.35 – 1.40 V
• Thermal Design Power [TDP] – 110 W
• Cache speed – 1MB per CPU
• Clock frequency – 2.4 GHz

The fabrication process used in AMD Athlon 64 X2 4800 is 90mm using SOI (silicon on insulator). The 128-bit memory controller in the model is compatible with PC1600, PC2100, PC2700 and PC3200 DDR.
