AMD Rolls Out New Low-Power Athlon 64 Processors

malware · Sep 19, 2007, 09:25 AM

At the Embedded Systems Conference this week, AMD announced the addition of three new low power AMD Athlon 64 processors to its embedded product lineup, giving systems designers the benefits of AMD64 technology in a thermal envelope as low as 8 watts. The single core AMD Athlon 64 processor models 2000+, 2600+, and 3100+ adopt Socket AM2 and feature power envelopes of 8, 15, and 25W maximum thermal design power, respectively. They support ECC memory for high reliability data applications and are especially applicable for systems such as Network Attached Storage (NAS), Advanced Mezzanine Cards (AMCs) for the telecommunications market, and various single board computing and industrial implementations. These models will be generally available in Q4.

f**k sake AMD we don't want low power parts! Give me a handheld that needs a 1kw PSU!

PS this is a joke of course, we can all do with mobile devices with low power envelopes.

Mussels · Sep 19, 2007, 12:39 PM

i want 8W 3100+ chips.

god, the laptop potential

personally, i'd love a laptop with a 3000+, 1GB ram and overall it uses 30-40W power for the whole thing. 5+ hours battery ftw!

it actually might be very good for those with HTPC, they will you passive coolers easily
or those who run their pc 24/7

Haha...more like no cooler easily. 8 watts....very nice!

WhiteLotus · Sep 19, 2007, 03:21 PM

AMD need to create a market for themselves since intel is so strong. going green might be a good idea.

DaMulta · Sep 19, 2007, 03:25 PM

AMD is on a roll!!!

I'm getting one of these and putting a TEC on it. Just to see what the Chip will do on a heavy overclock.
-----

I just told the boss man about these chips, and he was excited to say the least. We could cut the electric bill big time with PCs running these chips.

jydie · Sep 19, 2007, 03:53 PM

Wow, these will be ideal in a home theater system!! Add a solid state hard drive and the only noise your system will produce will come from the optical drive. With one of these CPUs, you could passively cool the entire system and have nothing to worry about leaving it up 24/7.

If they keep the cost rather low, I will definitely consider one of these!

suraswami · Sep 19, 2007, 04:39 PM

No More Single Core chips AMD. Please release Dual/Triple core chips with the same watt output. AMD will be seen in everybody's home (even more).

WarEagleAU · Sep 19, 2007, 05:18 PM

Get a motherboard that you can put two or three in and bam, 24Watts of total useage. SWEET

Zero Cool · Sep 19, 2007, 05:21 PM

wow, imagine this power in a palm

suraswami · Sep 19, 2007, 05:45 PM

They are going VIA route?

seems like it, but amd's kicking via. amd, just staped some 3100's together and make a 32W x4 cpu

that would kick intel right in the balls.

Dude for realz... that's the beauty of this technology, and could potentially be where AMD starts to stomp. Make high-speed, low power consumption processors for cell phones, handheld game systems, heck a Garmin lol... portable and smaller is the way the world's goin, so this is a good market for AMD.

actually 3100 will be 25W, 8W and 15W will be 2000 and 2600
at least i think so, if i'm right it should be 100W for quad, not very good

Urbklr · Sep 20, 2007, 01:56 PM

100W for a quad would still be pretty damn good!

a111087 · Sep 20, 2007, 05:05 PM

no, there are quads with lower power consumptions, take phenom for example

take the 95 watt C2DQ6600?

a111087 · Sep 20, 2007, 10:15 PM

well Intel doesn't specify it as max consumption and excludes some other parts, so no

cdawall · Sep 20, 2007, 10:17 PM

didnt know that thanks

i thought my G0 was 89W?

not that it matters, at stock it undervolts to around 1.1V, so it'd be 50-60W quad then.
