about the replacements in the names of processors AMD generation K8L we recently talked in our news, today associates decided to supplement this information by the description of the new possibilities of such processors, about which previously was not clear info up.
First, processors socket AM2+ will obtain the support of the system bus hyperTransport 3.0 - this well-known fact. For the processors agena FX (Socket F+) and Agena (Socket AM2+) with four core the frequency of the system bus hyperTransport 3.0 will be not less than 4000 MHz. As clarifies AMD, an increase in the capacity of system bus will prove useful in the systems with several cores, integrated video and support PCI express 2.0. Each type of systems in 2007 will be already actively operated.
The processors of generation K8L will find the built-in controller of memory with the support DDR 2-1066. For the architecture this is AMD64 the completely predictable evolutionary step - up-to-date processors K8 support only DDR 2-800.
Processors K8L will have independent voltage control , core frequency and internal north bridge. This will make possible not to lose the performance of northern bridge in the transient states of processor, caused by the work of technology cool'n'Quiet.
The support of expansions SSE4A processors socket AM2+ and Socket F+ will be obtained for the best competition with 0.045 m processors of generations penryn from Intel, which will get the support of expansion SSE4.
Appear references about the processors Of rana with two cores, which previously were mentioned under the code name arcturus. From the dual core kuma (been antares) they will differ in terms of the absence of the cache in the third level and in terms of modest heat release. By the way, in the price expression of these processor will replace the upper part of the assortment from the single core athlon 64. Single core will be actually the processors spica, which will leave nearer to the end of 2007.
About other characteristics of processors K8L we sufficient in detail speaked in November, the information of American associates confirms the characteristics presented
