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 Athlon 64 X2 is the first native dual-core desktop central processing unit (CPU) designed by Advanced Micro Devices (AMD). It was designed from scratch as native dual-core by using an already multi-CPU enabled Athlon 64, joining it with another functional core on one die, and connecting both via a shared dual-channel memory controller/north bridge and additional control logic.
The Athlon 64 X2 was released in 2005 as the first native dual-core desktop CPU designed by AMD using an Athlon 64. [18] The Athlon X2 was a subsequent family of microprocessors based on the Athlon 64 X2. The original Brisbane Athlon X2 models used 65 nm architecture and were released in 2007. [19]
