Preliminary Information

AMD Athlon™ XP Processor Model 8 Data Sheet

25175H— March 2003

Clock Multiplier

The chipset samples the FID[3:0] signals in a chipset-specific

Selection (FID[3:0])

manner from the processor and uses this information to

 

determine the correct serial initialization packet (SIP). The

 

chipset then sends the SIP information to the processor for

 

configuration of the AMD Athlon system bus for the clock

 

multiplier that determines the processor frequency indicated

 

by the FID[3:0] code. The SIP is sent to the processor using the

 

SIP protocol. This protocol uses the PROCRDY, CONNECT, and

 

CLKFWDRST signals, that are synchronous to SYSCLK.

 

For more information about FID[3:0], see “FID[3:0] Pins” on

 

page 75.

 

Serial Initialization Packet (SIP) Protocol. Refer to A M D A t h l o n ™

 

System Bus Specification, order# 21902 for details of the SIP

 

protocol.

9.2Processor Warm Reset Requirements

Northbridge Reset RESET# cannot be asserted to the processor without also being

Pinsasserted to the Northbridge. RESET# to the Northbridge is the same as PCI RESET#. The minimum assertion for PCI RESET# is one millisecond. Southbridges enforce a minimum assertion of RESET# for the processor, Northbridge, and PCI of 1.5 to 2.0 milliseconds.

8 specifications

AMD's Ryzen 8000 series, commonly referred to as AMD 8, represents a significant leap in performance and efficiency, leveraging advanced technologies that cater to gamers, content creators, and enterprise users alike. With a continued focus on the Zen architecture, the Ryzen 8000 processors enhance performance per watt, delivering increased efficiency without compromising on power.

One of the standout features of AMD 8 is its adoption of the 5nm process technology. This innovation allows for a higher density of transistors, resulting in improved performance metrics and reduced power consumption. The smaller node size not only enhances clock speeds but also ensures that the chips generate less heat, making thermal management easier for system builders.

AMD has introduced a new architecture with the Ryzen 8000 series known as Zen 5. This architecture brings improved instructions per cycle (IPC) over its predecessors, leading to faster performance in both single-threaded and multi-threaded workloads. Gamers will benefit from higher frame rates, while professionals in fields such as video editing and 3D rendering can expect noticeable improvements in rendering times.

Another key technology in the AMD 8 lineup is the integration of AMD's next-generation RDNA graphics architecture. This allows for enhanced graphics performance in systems without dedicated GPU hardware. The combination of advanced graphics and CPU capabilities provides a more versatile platform for casual gamers and users with less demanding graphical needs.

Support for PCIe 5.0 is a game changer for the AMD 8000 series, offering double the bandwidth of its predecessor, PCIe 4.0. This feature allows for faster data transfer rates with compatible SSDs and graphics cards, ensuring that users can take full advantage of the latest storage technologies.

Additionally, AMD's Infinity Cache has made its way into the Ryzen 8000 series, further enhancing memory bandwidth. This technology reduces latency and increases efficiency by caching frequently accessed data closer to the processor.

In terms of connectivity, the Ryzen 8000 models come equipped with Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.2, providing ultra-fast wireless connections that are essential for modern gaming and streaming experiences.

In summary, AMD's Ryzen 8000 series, or AMD 8, is designed for maximum performance and efficiency. With its advanced 5nm technology, enhanced Zen 5 architecture, integrated RDNA graphics, PCIe 5.0 support, Infinity Cache, and state-of-the-art connectivity features, it sets a new standard for processors in its class, making it a top choice for both gamers and professionals.
