The AMD Optimizing C/C++ Compiler (AOCC) is an optimizing C/C++ and Fortran compiler suite from AMD targeting 32-bit and 64-bit Linux platforms. [1] [2] It is a proprietary fork of LLVM + Clang with various additional patches to improve performance for AMD's Zen microarchitecture in Epyc, and Ryzen microprocessors.
The CPU's clock speed and VCore are automatically decreased when the computer is under low load or idle, to save battery power, reduce heat and noise. The lifetime of the CPU is also extended because of reduced electromigration, which varies exponentially with temperature. [1] The technology is a concept similar to Intel's SpeedStep technology.
Computer fans are widely used along with heatsink fans to reduce temperature by actively exhausting hot air. There are also other cooling techniques, such as liquid cooling. All modern day processors are designed to cut out or reduce their voltage or clock speed if the internal temperature of the processor exceeds a specified limit.
The live cd iso file being installed needs to match the system being used; for 64-bit x86-64 processors amd64 is used, for 32-bit IA-32 processors i686 is used. [9] The supported architecture is listed at the end of the iso filename. The CD can also boot from a customized DVD which has almost 4.6 GB of free space for backed-up files.
AMD Turion processor die. AMD Turion is the brand name AMD applies to its x86-64 low-power consumption mobile processors codenamed K8L. [1] The Turion 64 and Turion 64 X2/Ultra processors compete with Intel's mobile processors, initially the Pentium M and the Intel Core and Intel Core 2 processors.
Since the introduction of Zen-based processors, AMD renamed their APUs as the Ryzen with Radeon Graphics and Athlon with Radeon Graphics, with desktop units assigned with G suffix on their model numbers (e.g. Ryzen 5 3400G & Athlon 3000G) to distinguish them from regular processors or with basic graphics and also to differentiate away from ...
AMD64 (also variously referred to by AMD in their literature and documentation as “AMD 64-bit Technology” and “AMD x86-64 Architecture”) was created as an alternative to the radically different IA-64 architecture designed by Intel and Hewlett-Packard, which was backward-incompatible with IA-32, the 32-bit version of the x86 architecture.
As a processor model's design matures, smaller transistors, lower-voltage structures, and design experience may reduce energy consumption. Processor manufacturers usually release two power consumption numbers for a CPU: typical thermal power, which is measured under normal load (for instance, AMD's average CPU power)
