Blazing performance. Proven reliability. They're more than buzzwords. They're key features you look for in a processor. AMD does a lot more than just talk about those features - and the proof is in its comprehensive array of AMD Athlon processors.The AMD Athlon XP processor powers the next generation in computing platforms, delivering extra performance for cutting-edge applications and an extraordinary computing experience. It is designed to meet the computation-intensive requirements of cutting-edge software applications running on high-performance desktop systems. AMD delivers tremendous performance by increasing the amount of work done per clock cycle and improving the operating frequency at the same time. The end result is a processor design that produces a high volume of work done per cycle and high operating frequencies - an optimum combination for compelling application performance. Too, Athlon XP takes advantage of connected digital devices and their content by delivering realistic photos, smooth videos, and rich sound.
