High Performance 1 Core Athlon XP Computer Processors
1 core Athlon XP computer processors allow for the managing of input and output instructions for a computer. This product is compatible with a number of computer brands and models and available in a number of different varieties.
What is Athlon?Athlon is a brand name for a line of single core computer processors (CPU). These particular lines of products are x86-compatible microprocessors that are manufactured by AMD. This seventh generation product made its debut in 1999. AMD has used the following core names throughout its model cycles: Argon, Pluto, Orion, Thunderbird, Palomino, Thoroughbred, Thornton, and Corvette. Below are some technical data regarding the Athlon line of products.
- Maximum CPU clock rate: 500 MHz to 2.33 GHz
- FSB speeds: 200 MT/s to 400 MT/s
- Minimum feature size: 0.25 micrometers to 0.13 micrometers
A computer processor is also known as a CPU. This device is a piece of electronic circuitry that carries out the instructions of a computer. These instructions can include input/output, logical, control, and arithmetic operations. Currently, most of these types of products are classified as microprocessors. These products reside on the motherboard inside a desktop, server, laptop, or other computing device.
What is a core?In computing terminology, a core is a the processing unit that will receive the calculations of the input. These inputs can include instructions to perform calculations or perform actions. Processors can either be a single core or a multi-core processor. The more cores a processor has, the more simultaneous functions it will be able to perform. This particular device is known as a 1 Core which means it is a single core processor.
How do you select a processor?If you are looking to upgrade your computer to perform its functions faster, then it will be necessary to upgrade your microprocessor. You will probably want to use a device that has a faster processing speed. Therefore, you should select a device that has a higher maximum CPU clock rate than your current chip. For instance, if your chip has a maximum CPU clock rate of 1 GHz, then you will want to select a chip that has a maximum CPU clock rate of 1.53 GHz. Currently, 1 core Athlon XP computer processors have a maximum CPU clock rate of 2.33 GHz.
How do you install the Athlon XP device?In order to install this Athlon XP device, you will need to:
- Unplug your computer or server and properly ground yourself.
- Open your computer or server.
- Find the motherboard and remove the old microprocessor. Then, replace it with the new single microprocessor.
- Properly cover the computer, turn it on and check to see if the new device is working properly.
