The first generation 0.065 m processors AMD already demonstrated a progress in the sphere of energy-economy, after acquiring the support to function C1 E.It s known that the processors of generation K8L socket AM2+ will obtain the possibility to independently govern frequency and voltage of separate core, which will make possible to increase their energy effectiveness. Associates describe with more detail about the update in the sphere of power control and temperatures monitoring which will be in the processors generation K8L.
The technologies coolandQuiet and C1 E will be optimized in such way that the processors can have triple energy state - this will make possible to decrease the energy consumption in the regime idle to 18.3%. Processors socket AM2+ will govern frequency and core supply voltage they will be independent from north bridge, that also will result to an increase in the efficiency. They will also obtain the digital interface of temperature control SB -TSi, which will use information from several sensors, and it will be characterized by the increased accuracy. Function HTC (Hardware thermal control) will manage the heat shielding of processor, setting in action the so-called throttling when reaching a critical temperature.
I hope that we will have the possibility to introduce these functions in more detail. The processors socket AM2+ must appear in the third quarter of this year, and models will be for sure accessible already in the present half-year.
