The first CPU for the budge market ( compact laptop computers ) from AMD will become the Athlon 64 2000+, which works at 1 GHz frequency with 0.9v. In this case the energy consumption is 8 W, which is twice higher than Intel Atom, and in this case the frequency is 60% lower.


This solution is built on base of 65- nm lima core G0 stepping and counts 122 million transistors in comparison with 47 mln in the 45- nm atom. K8 Architecture shows noticeable superiority over Atom 230 (1,6 GHz) in the majority of tests.






In multimedia tests the re-encoding rate of sound files iTunes and Lame was on the advantage Of athlon 64 2000+ by 38%, in Cinema4D this advantage was reduced to 10%. The only tests were AMD was inferior are antivirus and WinRAR (up to 4%). However, in typical for notebook tasks : web-surfing , the athlon 64 2000+ was about 50% faster.
The progressive chipset 780G for AMD system proved to be more economical under load. However, the temperature conditions Of athlon 64 2000+ proved to be completely better, than in Atom. Thus, Athlon 64 2000+ gained a convincing victory above intel Atom. To deficiencies in AMD product can become its price. It is thus expected that at the start it will cost 90 dollars, that noticeably higher, than intel Atom.
