Overview

AMD AthlonTM Processor

The AM AthlonTM processor is the newest microprocessor in the AM K86TM

family of microprocessors. The AM Athlon processor brings superscalar RISC

performance to desktop systems running industry-standard x86 software. This

processor implements advanced design techniques such as:

 Three out-of-order, superscalar, pipelined Multimedia Units

 Three out-of-order, superscalar, pipelined Integer Units

 Three x86 instruction decoders

 Fixed-sized internal instruction formats (MacroOPs)

 72-entry Instruction Control Unit

 AM 3 NOW!TM technology

 Large L1 and L2 caches and translation lookaside (TLB) structures

 Register renaming and data-forwarding

 ynamic branch prediction

 S2K Interface Technology

The AM Athlon processor is the first x86 processor ever to incorporate the S2K

interface technology to deliver unprecedented system performance. The S2K

interface technology is based on the EV6 bus technology from igital/Compaq

and provides 1.6 Gbytes per second bandwidth to the system.

The AM Athlon Processor utilizes Single Edge Contact (S.E.C.) (Figure 1)

cartridge packaging technology. The S.E.C. cartridge utilizes surface mounted

core components and a printed circuit board with an edge finger connection. The

S.E.C. cartridge package introduced on the AM Athlon Processor will also be

used in future Slot A processors.

The S.E.C. cartridge has the following features: a thermal plate, a cover and a PCB

with an edge finger connection. The thermal plate allows standardized heatsink

attachment or customized thermal solutions. The thermal plate enables a reusable

IntroductionEP-7KXA

heatsink to minimize fit issues for serviceability, upgradeability and replacement.

The full enclosure also protects the surface mount components. The edge finger

connection maintains socketabilty for system configuration. The edge finger

connector is denoted as Slot A connector in this and other documentation.

S.E.C. Cartridge Terminology

 Processor card

The green PCB (with or without components on it)

 Processor core

The CPU silicon chip on the processor card.

 Cover

The plastic cover on the opposite side from the thermal plate.

 Slot A

The slot that the S.E.C. cartridge plugs into.

 Retention mechanism

Formerly retention module the dual posts, etc. that holds the cartridge in

place.

 Thermal plate

The heatsink attachment plate.

 Heat sink supports

The support pieces that are mounted on the mainboard to provide added

support for heatsinks.

Accelerated Graphics Port

(AGP or A.G.P.)

Typically, 3 graphics rendering requires a tremendous amount of memory, and

demands ever increasing throughput speed as well. As 3 products for the

personal computer become more and more popular, these demands will only

increase. This will cause a rise in costs for both end users and manufacturers.

Lowering these costs as well as improving performance is the primary motivation

behind AGP. By providing a massive increase in the bandwidth available between

the video card and the processor, it will assist in relieving some of these pressures

for quite sometime.

Hardware Monitoring

Hardware monitoring allows you to monitor various aspects of your systems

operations and status. The features include CPU temperature, voltage and RPM of

fan.

EP-7KXA Form-Factor

The EP-7KXA is designed with ATX form factor - the new industry standard of

chassis. ATX form factor is essentially a Baby-AT baseboard rotated 90 degrees

within the chassis enclosure and a new mounting configuration for the power

supply. With these changes the processor is relocated away from the expansion

slots, allowing them all to hold full length add-in cards. ATX defines a double

height aperture to the rear of the chassis which can be used to host a wide range of

onboard I/O. Only the size and position of this aperture is defined, allowing PC

manufacturers to add new I/O features (e.g.; TV input, TV output, joystick, modem,

LAN, etc.) to systems. This will help systems integrators differentiate their

products in the marketplace, and better meet your needs.

 Smaller size promotes a smaller system size.

 I/O shield does not need to be retooled in an ATX 2.01 or later. The

mainboard should be used in an ATX 2.01 (or later) compliant case.

 A smaller power supply can be used. High integration on mainboard

reduces the system costs.

Power-On/Off (Remote)

The EP-7KXA has a single 20-pin connector for ATX power supplies. For ATX

power supplies that support the Remote On/Off feature, this should be connected

to the systems front panel for system Power On/Off button. The systems power

On/Off button should be a momentary button that is normally open.

The EP-7KXA has been designed with Soft Off" functions. You can turn Off the

system from one of two sources: The first is the front panel Power On/Off

button, and the other is the "Soft Off" function (coming from the EP-7KXAs

onboard circuit controller) that can be controlled by the operating system.

Windows 95/98 will control this when the user clicks that they are ready to

Shutdown the system.
