AMD Athlon II Dual-Core Mobile P320 - AMP320SGR22GMSpecificationsAMD Athlon II P320 is a budget mobile microprocessor from Danube
mainstream platform. The Danube platform, which consists of AMD M880G chipset
and a variety of V Series, Athlon II, Turion II and Phenom II branded
models, was launched in May 2010.
AMD P320 processor is built on 45nm enhanced K10 micro-architecture, and implements all of its most important components:
The Athlon II P320 processor operates at 2.1 GHz, and, thanks to PowerNow! and other low-power features, has low 25 Watt Thermal Design Power (TDP). The microprocessor is manufactured in socket S1-compatible package. Please note that the AMD P320 is electrically compatible only with the S1g4 version of that socket. Compared to V series microprocessors, the Athlon II P320 offers the same TDP at about the same clock frequency, while having an extra CPU core. For this reason AMD P320 may be used as a cheap upgrade for V series CPUs. While replacing V series processors with this Athlon II model won't result in better per-core performance, overall system responsiveness is going to be better, and performance in some multi-threaded applications will be almost twice higher than on V-Series chips. Upgrading the AMD P320 on most laptops shouldn't present any
problems as long as you're able to disassemble the laptop and get to
the CPU. Upgrading to faster mobile Athlon II processors is not worth
it, as the difference in performance won't be noticeable. Turion II
series of CPUs can be considered as a not overly expensive upgrade
option. Not only these models have higher clock frequencies, than
Athlon IIs, they also have twice larger L2 cache, native 128-bit
support for SSE instructions, and slightly faster HyperTransport link.
More expensive Phenom II microprocessors are possibly the best upgrade
option due to their higher clock frequency. Triple- and quad-core
Phenom II parts have lower performance, than Turion II and Phenom II
CPUs, in single- and dual-threaded apps, therefore they are better suited for multi-threaded applications. ToolsAMD Athlon II P320 specifications

NewsAMD launches Danube and Nile platform
May 12, 2010: It's been a busy week for AMD. Yesterday AMD added 6 new desktop Athlon II
processors, and today they launched mainstream and ultrathin notebook platforms.
Two microprocessor families shipped with these mobile platforms were rebranded -
"Turion II Ultra" family was changed to "Phenom II", and "V Series" family replaced
"Sempron Mobile". According to a footnote in AMD's press release, this year PC
manufacturers are going to launch 109 laptops based on mainstream
"Danube" platform, and 26 notebooks/netbooks based on ultrathin "Nile"
platform.
New notebooks on upcoming AMD Danube platform
May 05, 2010: As was widely reported in December of last year, this month AMD will
launch Danube platform with 12 new Phenom II and Athlon II mobile
microprocessors. The new lineup consists of three quad-core, 2
triple-core, 6 dual-core and one single-core processor.

Please do not ask upgrade and troubleshooting questions, and do not start discussions. processor2010-08-12 11:09:58 Posted by: herich ham why is it that the speed of my laptops processor was not steady from 795 mhz to 1.49 ghz to 2.09 ghz with p320 amd athlon ii x2 Response: You have Cool'n'Quiter or PowerNow! enabled. This feature saves power by throttling CPU frequency down to 800 MHz when the processor idle. The frequency gets back to normal when you start any CPU intensive task.
SSE4A2010-10-23 16:52:23 Posted by: majk in the specyfikation is not written on SSE4A Response: I added SSE4A to the page. Thank you for the correction!
64bit?2010-10-25 06:20:04 Posted by: joseph p320 is 64bit CPU? Response: Yes, it has 64-bit extensions, and it can run 64-bit OS.
AMD Athlon II 2.1 GHz Dual-Core P3202010-11-16 15:22:43 Posted by: Paul S. Doyle I'm running this dual core CPU in my Compaq Presario CQ62-225NR notebook (typing this on it now), and so far it's been very smooth sailing. I've got 4GB of PC3-10600 DDR3, running Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit, and the CPU flies through just about everything I throw at it - very real-world stuff. core speed2010-12-02 18:52:14 Posted by: Matt hiya is just wondering if it is 2.1ghz per core or is that a colective figure?? Response: Each CPU core of the Athlon II P320 runs at 2.1 GHz.
How's it compare?2010-12-26 15:49:18 Posted by: Andy How does this processor compare to the I3 320m? I'm such an AMD fan, but if I can get more bang for my buck I might have to defect. Been looking at the Intel P6100, T4500, I3 and AMD P320. Same computer specs, same price, just different cpu's so I'm stuck. Any thoughts? Response: Sorry, we don't have a test system with Core i3-330M. Based on microarchitecture efficiency and CPU features I suspect that the i3-330M will have a noticable lead over then Athlon II P320 in single-threaded, and even more so in multi-threaded applications
...2010-12-27 15:16:34 Posted by: neil what is the max temp of this CPU ? Response: Unfortunately, this information is not published by AMD. Mobile processors may run at higher temperatures than desktop CPUs, so the P320 may get as hot as 70C - 75C under load.
Don't get the core speed2012-07-26 08:03:09 Posted by: Jimbo Hi - I have checked with cpu-z and this is definitely my CPU. But it is running at 795MHz, not 2.1GHz...? wtf?
Response: All mobile processors have PowerNow! feature, that lowers processor frequency to 800 MHz when the CPU is idle. You need to run some CPU intensive task in the background to see processor's real frequency.
