The first Athlon processor was a result of AMD's development of K7 processors in the 1990s. AMD founder and then-CEO Jerry Sanders [8] aggressively pursued strategic partnerships and engineering talent in the late 1990s, working to build on earlier successes in the PC market with the AMD K6 processor line.
Athlon is a family of CPUs designed by AMD, targeted mostly at the desktop market. The name "Athlon" has been largely unused as just "Athlon" since 2001 when AMD started naming its processors Athlon XP , but in 2008 began referring to single core 64-bit processors from the AMD Athlon X2 and AMD Phenom product lines.
The AMD Athlon II family is a 64-bit microprocessor family from Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), based on the K10 microarchitecture. As with the Phenom II , it's an improved second generation of said microarchitecture.
The Athlon 64 is a ninth-generation, AMD64-architecture microprocessor produced by Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), released on September 23, 2003. [1] It is the third processor to bear the name Athlon, and the immediate successor to the Athlon XP. [2]
Zen is the first iteration in the Zen family of computer processor microarchitectures from AMD.It was first used with their Ryzen series of CPUs in February 2017. [4] The first Zen-based preview system was demonstrated at E3 2016, and first substantially detailed at an event hosted a block away from the Intel Developer Forum 2016.
Zen+ is the name for a computer processor microarchitecture by AMD.It is the successor to the first gen Zen microarchitecture, [3] and was first released in April 2018, [4] powering the second generation of Ryzen processors, known as Ryzen 2000 for mainstream desktop systems, Threadripper 2000 for high-end desktop setups and Ryzen 3000G (instead of 2000G) for accelerated processing units (APUs).
The final iteration of the K6 design was released in May 1998, running at 300 MHz. A delidded AMD K6 processor. Die shot of an AMD K6-233APR processor. Features
The AMD K8 Hammer, also code-named SledgeHammer, is a computer processor microarchitecture designed by AMD as the successor to the AMD K7 Athlon microarchitecture. The K8 was the first implementation of the AMD64 64-bit extension to the x86 instruction set architecture .
