AMD Athlon XP microprocessor family
AMD Athlon XP processor family is the successor to the
Athlon CPU family. Palomino, the first
Athlon XP core, had a few improvements over the previous Athlon core:
All Athlon XP Palomino CPUs had 266 MHz bus speed, and were manufactured using 0.18 micron technology. Next revision of Athlon XP core, called Thoroughbred, was manufactured on newer 0.13 micron technology, and as a result, had smaller die size and lower power dissipation than the Palomino core. Bus speed of some Thoroughbred processors was increased to 333 MHz. Bus speed of Athlon XP family was increased even further with the introduction of Barton core. In addition to faster bus speed the Barton core also had twice as much L2 cache memory - 512 KB. Athlon XP Barton CPUs were manufactured on the 0.13 micron process. Thorton, the last Athlon XP core, was the same as the Barton core with L2 cache size slashed in half - from 512 KB to 256 KB. Starting Athlon XP family, all AMD processors were marked with rated speed. Please see AMD Athlon XP identification page for relationship between rated speed and actual speed of AMD Athlon XP microprocessors.

is there any possible way i could purchase an AMD socket 462 processor from any trusted website?? cos mine a 1.2 GHZ and i need a new one drasticaly..
Athlon XP Upgrade
Matt - You should be able to upgrade to the fastest Athlon XP CPU with the same native maximum bus speed as your up-to-date BIOS can accommodate. Be that: 100/200, 133/266, 167/333, 200/400. You will find used Athlon XPs of almost all MHz/FSB combinations at eBay. Know what you want. Check MB and BIOS compatability in advance to see what variety of CPUs you have open to you. I'm over there bidding on some Athlon XPs right now that are the fastest that I'm really sure will work with my mainboard. Some there are even brand new if you really insist on that. Happy shopping to you!
Which is faster..."by the numbers"
Hello!
First, what an incredibly informative and well done site. Clearly a "labor of love". GOOD JOB!
I have TWO Athlon AXDA2400's.
One is stepping code AIXIB (though it REALLY looks like aixJb, is that possible?) and the other is AIXHB.
The numbers that follow those designations are different also.
The question is: By the numbers on the chip is it possible to tell which is the "better" processor? Are there other numbers that would guide one?
I have two systems, very similar, but one gets the heavier use and if there is any difference I'd like to know.
THANKS in advance!
AMD Athlon XP 2600+
I have heard that the 2600+ processor requires a specific kind of RAM in order to recognize and use it. Is this true? If it is, could you tell me what RAM works? Thank you in advance
help...
i need help, i need to know first of all how to find what the name and statistics of my motherboard are
second of all do you think its possible to exchance a intel celeron processor with an AMD processor?
Athlon XP 3200+
i found some info about an athlon cpu
AXDA3200DKV4D 3200+ 2333 MHz 333 MHz
that is not featured in the list here, does this cpu actually exist?
Which is better?
I have a Sempron 2200+ 1.5ghz FSB333 and a Athlon XP 2200+ 1.8ghz FSB 266, which is faster?
Thoroughbred AthlonXP 2600+ Vs. Thorton AthlonXP 2200+
I have a AMD Athlon XP 2200+ AXDC2200DUV3C Thorton and a AMD Athlon XP 2600+ Thoroughbred AXDA2600DKV3D, which is faster?
CPU for Asrock K7VM3
I noticed that you could buy athlon xp 2600 (for example) with a thoroughbred, thornton, or barton core. Which is the fastest for my mb?

Locked & Unlocked AMD cpu's (b)
The so called Super unlock:
Basically, the method involves modding of the locked chips.
'PowerNow' feature allows voltage and multiplier changes in order to preserve battery life.
So if you have motherboard/chipset/BIOS support for PowerNow which not all boards do, nForce2 does not, you can use this feature on locked desktop CPUs.
You also need to boot into Windows with your locked multiplier and the FSB with which you can boot into Windows but you cannot change the FSB inside Windows, only the multiplier. Ironically, you can change the FSB too inside Windows with nForce2s but they have no PowerNow feature so it's of no use with super locked chips.
***************************************************
"Are there any hidden multiplier pins from the NC, VCC, VSS pins?"...................
The main idea is to see
1. Whether there are some VCC or VSS pins, measured from VSS, have large resistance, say, > 100 ohm. Normal VCC to VSS should be much smaller, and of course normal VSS to VSS should be zero.
2. Whether there are some NC pins, measured from VSS, have relatively small resistance, say, 10 M ohm.<
3. All resistance measured from VSS is sufficient, at least for the first trial.
4. In principle, ONLY measuring VCC, VSS and NC pins from VSS is sufficient. But if one can find someone to help, may well just measuring every pins and put the resistance number from VSS in the pin layout map and analyse them after the measurement.
AMD pin layout map, on Page 55
http://www.amd.com/us-en/assets/cont...docs/26237.PDF
If suspecting there are some hidden pins (not specified in data sheet) among the
- NC pin group, or
- VCC pin group, or
- VSS pin group,
one can make a resistance map or table of each pin to VSS, and look for difference.
With a probe of a DMM connected to VSS, measure the resistance of each pin to VSS, and make a table. Then compare the resistance table to the pin table. One may want to measure each pin twice with the polarity reversed.
It should not be too difficult to do, especially if one can find a helper to write down the numbers while doing the measurement.
If a pin can be measured in 4 sec, a single pass of 478 pins would take about 32 minutes. Two pass would be about an hour.
If there is/are multiplier controlling pin(s) hidden among these NC, VCC, VSS pins, the resistance of that pin(s) would stand out differently from the other regular NC, VCC, VSS pins.
- If a pin is not a VCC pin or a VSS pin, and if it goes to the input of logic gates, or FET terminals, even if there is pullup or pulldown impedance, would be >> 10 ohm.
- If a NC pin turned out to be not NC, then the resistance would be much smaller than 10M ohm.
Locked & Unlocked AMD cpu's "Spooky!"
Okay, here's the scoop on the possible existence of a second set of
pins. I have spent the past three evenings ohming the 5 known BP_FID
pins on my unlocked Barton to all the other pins on the bottom and
sadly, though not unexpectedly, I must report that none of the other
pins, regardless of claimed function, be that Vss, Vcc, N/C, etc, are
connected to them.
Now, here's where it gets "creepy". I eventually snapped and did
something I never dreamed I would do. On the Locked Barton, I heated
the core with a micro hydrogen flame torch, to keep the heat locallized
to the core until the sealant around the edge softened, as well as all
the solder dots, be they bismuth, indium, or whatever low temperature
metal AMD uses, melted. I then lifted the core off the carrier.
Yes, we're talking CPUicide here. Following the traces from the L3
bridges to their destination solder dots in the array on top of the
carrier, beneath where the core sits and the dots leading inside it
touch, I discovered they were actually connected to the core's
corresponding dots just like all the other traces.
That shoots down my theory about the paths leading to the multiplier
control circuitry having been etched back, cut, or whatever, before the
core was mounted onto the carrier.
So where does that lead us, other than recommending me for committment
to an appropriate institution? Either, as some of you have proposed,
they gave those circuit inputs a lethal shot of current or there may be
some microcode embedded inside the core which can be programmed to
ignore the input logic levels to the multiplier control circuitry. I
seriously doubt the cores themselves are different, though I'm
certainly not going to trash my remaining unlocked Barton to compare
them. I'm already having enough difficulty dealing with my
self-loathing, not to mention the £70 price tag to satisfy my
curiousity.

AXMJ2800FHQ4C
I bought a used PC at a yard sale no less! It was $50.00. It had a cool case and a new DVD R/RW drive so I thought what the heck. Anyway, inside is an Abit NF7-S ver.2 motherboard which I understand is good, 2 x 512MB Corsair XMS ram with silver covers and the CPU says, AXMJ2800FHQ4C which isn't in your list. I was recently told it was meant for a laptop??? Is it OK to be using this? Just curious. Oh, it say in Bios 208MHz FSB x 11.5 multiplier. For $50.00 it runs super well.

How Can I Find Out Which Athlon XP 2600+ Is In My PC?
The Asus A7N8X-X CPU Support chart on the cpu-upgrade.com website shows that there are 3 models of the Athlon XP 2600+:
AXDA2600DKV3C
2600+ Thoroughbred
Model 8, 266 MHz FSB
AXDA2600DKV3D
2600+ Thoroughbred
Model 8, 333 MHz FSB
AXDA2600DKV4D
2600+ Barton,
Model 10, 333 MHz FSB
I have a PC with an Athlon XP 2600+ installed on an A7N8X-X mobo.
Without removing the heatsink and CPU, is there any way to find out which model Athlon XP 2600+ is in my PC?
Thanks!!!

AMD Athlon XP 2800+ - AXDA2800DKV4D
First of all, thank you for providing such an outstanding website; I'm amazed by the depth of information contained here.
Though you show the same Barton CPU I own here:
cpu-world.com/CPUs/K7/AMD-Athlon%20XP%202800+%20-%20AXDA2800DKV4D.html
It is NOT listed on this page:
cpu-world.com/CPUs/K7/TYPE-Athlon%20XP.html
Is there a reason for this, or is this merely an oversight? My Barton AXDA2800DKV4D XP 2800+ is dated Week 25, 2003 (AQXEA 0325 SPFW). The CPU is rated for 2.083GHz (333 MHz FSB x 12.5), which is identical to the specs you've provided.
I do not have a photo at this time, but if you would like me to provide one, please let me know, and I will post one for you.
AXDA3200DKV4E
The AXDA3200DKV4E should be included.
Athlon XP1800+ Clocked to within an inch... but at a cost to lifespan
My trusty old XP1800 has been running at 2200Mhz now for approx 3 years ( equivalant to maybe an XP2800 / Xp2900.
Bought from an advertised batch of known good overclockers, it cost originally £45 when a XP3000 would have cost me more than 3 times as much!
Did a Cut-and-Shut job on the laserlocks as my mobo wouldn't give me too many options on overclocking.
just lately it has been starting to run hotter than normal...even with a heatsink compound refresh, and the computer has had quite a few unexplained random resets.
I guess that it is finally starting to give up the ghost...but big-up to AMD for it lasting so long.
I intend to replace it...... but with a similar processor (have to be cut and shut again).
3+ years of extra speed was well worth it.
AMD Rocks!... They just need to tackle the Intel core duo now... gain the lead again, and give me a new overclocking goal!

AMD Athlon XP 3000+ - AXDA3000DKV4D
I am currently using a "AMD Athlon XP 3000+ - AXDA3000DKV4D" and I was wondering if there is an upgrade that I can purchase without having to get a new motherboard or any other new hardware?
What is the difference between the Athlon XP and the Athlon MP? Say Athlon XP 2000+ and Athlon MP 2000+. The guts of the chip seem to be similar. Are they interchangeable for most desktop motherboards?
can it?
Can an Athlon XP 2500+ processor run windows XP?
i have a athlon xp 2600+, is there any point in me upgrading to a 3200, will the performance increase be worth it.
thanks brett
FSB Question
Hello,
Wondering if you could shed some light on my problem.
Ive had a Athlon XP 2800 with 333FSB that i believe has gone bad. If I were to get a new chip, would it have to be 333FSB also, or could i get a 400FSB - 3000 for example? Currently i can not get into bios because i cant boot, but would there be a setting to allow this?
Thanks,
Clint
Mobil Vs. Desktop XP CPU's
Most desktop boards will run either XP or XP-M CPU's however since mobil XP CPU's use power switching to help conserve battery life which means they lower their operating frenquence during idle time or slow working times so instead of for example a mobil XP 2800 normaly runs at 2.08 during slow periods will step down to maybe 1.50 to save power and then switches back to full power when needed. When this same CPU is used in a desktop the desktop board does not reconize this feature and more often than not locks onto the lower operating frenquency thus not letting the CPU to operate with it's full potential so always know your board and what it will do for your CPU and you won't be wondering "What the heck".
Barton
Wasn't there ever a Barton 3500?
There is a fishy site claiming a Barton 3400+
amdboard.com/barton3400.html
And a special-made Sempron 3300+
cpu-world.com/CPUs/K7/AMD-Sempron%203300+%20-%20SDA3300DKV4E.html
The Sempron 3300+ is no different than an Athlon XP 3200+.

Is Thoroughbred C0 (cpuid 6-8-2) a 'real' CPU, or just a myth, roadmap stuff, maybe eng. sample or smth else?
Have you ever seen it in flesh?
WBR, Tods
Athlon XP1800+ Clocked to within an inch... but at a cost to lifespan
Electric EEl, when you did the lazer cut and shut, unlocked the multiplier and FSB, you should increase the voltage by at least .1 v or .125 v's and lower your FSB by about 15% or so.... this will aid in your record heatwave and longevity.

Chip remarking or fakes
On Ebay just at the moment there are alot of Athlon XP processor. Little back from buyers on whether their cpu's are working as yet. For instance there are many 2500 with an "E" at the end of the code making them a 400FSB and there was a 3200 supposed to have a 266FSB. I have notice that steppings on some of these cpu's for sale do not exist in your database for the rated CPU. Manufacture dates seem wrong for particular known steppings. I have heard of remarked chips but dont know of the circumstance this can happen? How would you explain the discrepancies to the information I have found at this site.
Chip remarking or fakes
3200 with 266FSB?????
Chip remarking or fakes
This looks like a stepping code AQXDA that does not exist for 2800 CPU (AQXCA does)

Yes there was a Barton 3500+ I thought that was common knowledge.
I remember shopping on newegg and pricing it out but it was more then I wanted to spend. I could accomplish the same with a Barton core 2500+ Mobile 266FSB some were 333FSB. 170 dollars difference. With my ABIT nf7-s version 2.0 (not to be confused with the nf7s2 board) board I was able to run it at 3500+ at a 400 FSB no probs because all bartons have the same core. In production even today they take a handful of samples from every batch of processors they produce. and test them. The results and ratings of the samples reflect the batch.
AXDA3200DUV3C not listed here - actual Frequency?
Hello!
This is a very good webpage! It helps me a lot!
I found an Athlon XP 3200+ Thoroughbred CPU which is not listed here. FSB should be 266 MHz, L2-Cache 256 kB and voltage 1,6. But what ist the frequency? 2333 MHz? 133 x 17,5 ?
