The purpose of overclocking is to increase the operating speed of a given component. [3] Normally, on modern systems, the target of overclocking is increasing the performance of a major chip or subsystem, such as the main processor or graphics controller, but other components, such as system memory or system buses (generally on the motherboard), are commonly involved.
The AMD Bulldozer Family 15h is a microprocessor microarchitecture for the FX and Opteron line of processors, developed by AMD for the desktop and server markets. [1] [2] Bulldozer is the codename for this family of microarchitectures. It was released on October 12, 2011, as the successor to the K10 microarchitecture.

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.
Enhanced CPU overclocking for K10-based processors only, originally named "OverDrive 3.0" [33] Direct communication channel composed of six data pins which were previously reserved between the CPU and the southbridge; Advanced Clock Calibration (Option available with AMD OverDrive software 2.1.1 and later)
AMD K6 – the K6 was not based on the K5 and was instead based on the Nx686 processor that was being designed by NexGen when that company was bought by AMD. The K6 was generally pin-compatible with the Intel Pentium (unlike NexGen's existing processors). AMD K6-2 – an improved K6 with the addition of the 3DNow! SIMD instructions.
This article gives a list of AMD microprocessors, sorted by generation and release year.If applicable and openly known, the designation(s) of each processor's core (versions) is (are) listed in parentheses.
Zen 4 is the name for a CPU microarchitecture designed by AMD, released on September 27, 2022. [4] [5] [6] It is the successor to Zen 3 and uses TSMC's N6 process for I/O dies, N5 process for CCDs, and N4 process for APUs. [7]
