but my video editing software had issues with it (some sort of audio processing bug. don't forget the 'true underdog' lol) to ENTER the market, not remain in it.Īlso, I remember endless debates when I built my first PC for college ~2001. I was a kid at the time and my understanding was that the law suits at the time were what allowed AMD (and Via. AMD Phenomįantastic article! Especially loved seeing the early chips I had no idea that they were in the game pre 286 generation. They were sold under the "Phenom," "Opteron" and "Athlon" product lines. Barcelona is identical to the Agena die as well, except that AMD fixed the TLB bug on Agena before releasing them to retailers. The dual-core die was codenamed "Kuma," which is an Agena die with two cores disabled. Toliman, the triple-core variant, is actually the Agena die with one core disabled. It should be noted that all first-generation K10 processors used the Agena die with part of the core disabled. The fastest quad-core model was limited to 2.6 GHz, whereas dual-core K10 processors sold under the Athlon brand name manged to reach just 2.8 GHz. Owing to the power requirements to run multiple CPU cores simultaneously, the K10 Phenom processors also struggled to run at higher clock speeds. However, it imposed a sizable performance hit. AMD was able to release a software patch to keep the TLB bug at bay.
But a flaw in Barcelona (known as the TLB bug) could cause the CPU to lock up. The first K10 processors were based on the Barcelona configuration and sold as Opteron server processors. Unfortunately, the K10 ran into problems early on. IPC was improved compared to K8, but K10's greatest advantage was its quad-core design that enabled it to run laps around the K8 dual-core CPUs in heavily-threaded applications. It is closely related to the K8, but it had several enhancements to the core and associated cache and memory controller. Socket 754 (Venice)/ Socket 939 (Winchester and San Diego)ĪMD's next architecture, K10, was a rather ambitious design.
