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.
This was a totally new die based on the hexa-core "Istanbul" Opteron processor. It included AMD's "turbo core" technology, which allows the processor to automatically switch from 6 cores to 3 faster cores when more pure speed is needed. The Magny Cours and Lisbon server parts were released in 2010. [134]
2011. AMD announced the world's first 8-core CPU for desktop PCs. 2017. AMD announced Ryzen processors based on the Zen architecture, with up to 16 cores. 2017. Intel 8th generation Core i3, Core i5, Core i7 and Core i9, increased to approximately 4, 6, 8 and 8 cores respectively. 2017. Over 100 billion ARM-based CPUs shipped. [19] 2020.
The architecture was used in later AMD chips such as the K6, and to an extent most x86 processors today implement a "hybrid" architecture similar to those used in NexGen's processors. It went public in 1994, and was bought by AMD in 1995 for $850M. The technology forms the platform architecture for all of AMD's current microprocessors.
This technology allowed the industry to break below the former 1 micron limit. Key home computers in the early part of the decade predominantly use processors developed in the 1970s. Versions of the 6502, first released in 1975, powered the Commodore 64 , Apple II , BBC Micro , and Atari 8-bit computers .
AMD FX Series processors, codenamed Zambezi and based on AMD's Bulldozer architecture, were released in October 2011. The technology used a 32 nm SOI process, two CPU cores per module, and up to four modules, ranging from a quad-core design costing approximately US$130 to a $280 eight-core design.
