ok i no its been said over and over but i cant think of it right away now what is the athlon xp process built on " " P4 process built on
hmmmm, AMD Athlon cores are made by Palimino. AMD are changing the core in the new XPs coming out in a month or so. Im not 100% but i think the P4's core is made by Willaimette. hope this helps. .icecube
jeez, dont know about that. try in a search engine, or i bet someone else on here can tell you. btw, the new P4 cores are made by Northwood now. ive got the full specs on older AMDs but not Athlon XPs. sorry. .icecube
ok just gotta say this the northwood and palimino cores are made bye intel and amd not a another company so the northwood is made by intel not northwood
yea ... AMD own Palimino and Intel own Northwood. What are you trying to say ? The cores are obvisouly owned by the company or the core companys would just sell there own processors. Northwood and Palomino are not companys them selfs (dont think so anyway). Hard to explain really. .icecube
wait for isaac to reply... he know the most about this stuff. Try the amd website as it has a lot of technical data on it.
make a new thread with isaac in big letters and that will probably get his attention... it worked with linear
Ok heres my attempt...... AMD Athlon XP Palomino Core (XP1500-XP2100) Die process: .18micron L1 cache: 128K (on die) L2 cache: 256K (on die) CPU bus speed: 266Mhz (133 DDR) Supported Instruction sets: MMX, MMX+, SSE, 3dNow, 3dNow+ Intel Pentium 4 Northwood Core (1.6A-2.53B+) Die process: .13micron L1 cache: 8Kb L2 cache: 512Kb CPU bus speed: 400 or 533Mhz (100 or 133 QDR) Supported Instruction sets: MMX, MMX+, SSE, SSE2 This the kind of info you're after?
Palomino, Northwood and Williamette etc are the codenames use by the chip manufactureres AMD and Intel for the various designs or architectures of their various cores, not the company behind them! Hope that helps.
Jamie and Will have pretty well answered this. Dunno what more you want to know. Icecube, please don't talk complete rubbish. As Jamie said, the names are internal codenames within AMD and intel. You'll notice that intel codenames (eg Klamath, Willamette, Tualatin, Northwood) are all places in the western US (Klamath is a town, willamette is a river, etc), and that AMD are horses (Palomino, Morgan, Appaloosa, Thoroughbred). A couple of issues not mentioned...the size of the process (eg 0.13microns) is the width of a single transistor in the core. This is one factor in heat output and switching time, but not the only one. Others include various design features, and the material the CPU is based on. Anything else you need to know?
jeeeeez guys. i dont think i explained too well. i said there not external companies didnt i! .icecube
