The UMI interface previously used by AMD for communicating with the FCH is replaced with a PCIe connection. Technically the processor can operate without a chipset; it only continues to be present for interfacing with low speed I/O. AMD server CPUs adopt a self contained system on chip design instead which doesn't require a chipset. [11] [12 ...
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)
In addition to the CPU drivers offered by AMD, several motherboard manufacturers have released software to give the end user more control over the Cool 'n' Quiet feature, as well as the other new features of AMD processors and chipsets. Using these applications, one can even control the CPU voltage explicitly. PhenomMsrTweaker (SourceForge link)
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.

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.
Llano AMD Fusion (K10 cores + Redwood-class GPU) (launch Q2 2011, this is the first AMD APU) uses Socket FM1 Bulldozer architecture; Bulldozer, Piledriver, Steamroller, Excavator (2011–2017) [ edit ]
