At present, there are two major CPU manufacturers, INTEL and AMD, each with its own characteristics. The low-end product line is complete. Let's take a look at the current mainstream CPU.
1. AMD articles of mainstream CPU products
When it comes to AMD's CPU, many DIYer's minds will associate it with low price, strong performance and excellent overclocking potential. At present, the processors produced by AMD in the market mainly include high-end AMD Athlon 64, mainstream AMD Athlon XP and low-end Duron processors. AMD is mostly named after PR value, and only Duron series is named after actual frequency, so it is necessary to distinguish clearly.

Comments: This is a brand-new Duron series processor unexpectedly launched by AMD in mid-2003. Compared with the old duron, the specifications have not changed much. L 1 or 128K, and L2 is also 64K. The main difference is that the front-end bus has been upgraded from 200MHZ to 266MHZ! The manufacturing process has also changed from 0. 18 micron to 0. 13 micron, and the overall performance has improved a lot! Xinlong also inherited the SSE instruction set, dynamic branch residue and temperature-sensitive diode technology of Barton's core Athlon XP. In addition, it also has the same overclocking performance as Morgan Core Dragon. The default voltage is 1.5V, and the maximum power consumption is only 57W, so the calorific value is very low, which can be said to be the lowest calorific value processor on the market now. A friend of the author even added a radiator to Xinlong to make it work normally. Early production can also be transformed into 256k L2 Athlon XP. The biggest feature of the new dragon is that it is very cheap. Today, the market prices of Duron 1.4G and Duron 1.6G are below 300. Low price, good overclocking performance, low power consumption, low calorific value, and the possibility of transforming into Athlon XP, this series is definitely the first choice for low-end value!

Comments: Athlon XP adopts thoroughbred -AO (TB-AO for short) core, and adopts 0. 13 micron manufacturing process, L2 256k. The performance of this series of processors is good and the price is relatively cheap, but compared with Athlon XP, the core of thoroughbred horse -BO(TB-BO), its overclocking ability is average. Therefore, in the case of similar price, most people will choose Athlon XP with TB-BO core. At present, TB-AO on the market has been basically eliminated, and the core of TB-BO has been completely replaced by Athlon XP, but there is still a small amount left on the market. Please pay attention to distinguish when buying. The following will introduce the difference between TB-AO and TB-BO core Athlon XP.

Comments: Athlon XP with thoroughbred -BO(TB-BO) core is an upgraded version of Athlon XP, which adopts 0. 13 process. The core area has increased from 80 square millimeters of TB-AO to 84 square millimeters. Most of them use 266MHZ FSB, but some high-frequency versions also use 333MHZ FSB. The performance of this series is good, which is at the same level as Intel's P4 A/B series processors, and the power consumption is similar to P4 A/B series, but the price is super cheap and the cost performance is super high! And most of them are unlocked frequency doubling, and the overclocking ability is amazing, especially the low-frequency version. Such a low price, good performance and excellent overclocking ability are definitely an excellent choice for getting twice the result with half the effort. If you have no brand bias on processors, this series will be an ideal choice!

Comments: This series should be one of the most controversial models, especially the Athlon XP 2000+. Because of its appearance, many JS have the opportunity to sell it as Barton's core CPU, so as to get more profits. The appearance of this kind of CPU is the same as Barton's core CPU. In fact, Barton's Athlon XP is used to shield the 256K L2 cache and become the Athlon XP of Barton's core. Its technical parameters are the same as XP-BO/A0 of thoroughbred horses. The performance is similar under the condition of not exceeding. The difference is that this core has the opportunity to reopen the blocked 256K L2, thus becoming the Athlon XP of Barton Core 5 12K L2. In addition, its overclocking performance is also very strong, because it is also a low-frequency version of Barton's core CPU, and its overclocking performance is of course good. The price is several tens of yuan more expensive than the ordinary thoroughbred horse-Bo/A0 Athlon XP. Whether it's worth it or not depends on your personal measurement.

Comments: Barton's Athlon XP should be the last generation processor of Athlon XP series, and it is the mainstream and mid-to high-end processor of AMD at this stage. The biggest difference from TB-BO is that the L2 capacity is doubled, and the L2 capacity is increased from 256K to 5 12K, and the front-end bus is also increased from 266MHZ to 333MHZ, and some high-end models FSB are 400MHZ, which greatly improves the performance of the processor. Its core area is slightly longer than TB-BO core. This series still maintains AMD's consistent high cost performance and is one of the most worthwhile low-end products. Power consumption is slightly higher than Athlon XP with TB-BO core, but far lower than P4 C series! Although the overclocking performance is not as good as that of TB-BO core, the low-frequency 2500+ is generally easy to reach 3200+! If the later process is more mature, overclocking will be further improved!

AMD's Athlon 64 processor is the world's first 64-bit PC processor, which adopts a 64-bit architecture based on X-86 instruction system, namely X86-64 architecture. The biggest highlight of this processor is that it supports 64-bit addressing bit width and provides good backward compatibility-it supports 32 bits. Besides x86-64 architecture, this series of processors has many commendable improvements. For example, DDR SDRAM memory controller supporting dual channel and single channel is integrated; The functions of AGP 8x and I/O are realized in Athlon 64 system by using the hyper-threading bus connection technology independent of chipset. This series adopts Socket754 pin design, and L2 cache has two versions: 1MB and 5 12KB respectively. The process is 0. 13 micron, but the more advanced 0.09 process products will be launched soon. Thanks to the new architecture, the performance of this series of processors is very strong, and of course the price is not cheap. However, Athlon 64 can maintain high performance and low power consumption, and its maximum power consumption is much lower than that of P4 E series. If the price can be further reduced, this series will become the best choice among high-end processors.
