AMD Athlon 64 is a 64-bit microprocessor based on
K8 architecture and designed for desktop
computers. These microprocessors include all basic features of K8
micro-architecture, such as split 128 KB level 1 cache, exclusive 512
KB or 1 MB level 2 cache, AMD64 technology, Enhanced Virus
Protection, and support for SSE2 instructions. SSE3 instruction set
was added to all Athlon 64 processors with core revision E3 or later.
To interface with memory and peripheral devices all Athlon 64 CPUs
use integrated memory controller and one HyperTransport link instead
of Front-Side Bus. Performance of the integrated memory controller and
the HyperTransport link was gradually improved with introduction of
new package and socket types:
- 754-pin package / Socket 754 processors - these processors include single-channel DDR SDRAM memory controller and one 800 MHz HyperTransport link.
- 939-pin package / Socket 939 - memory controller was upgraded to dual-channel controller, which provides twice as much memory bandwidth as compared to socket 754 - up to 6.4 GB/s depending on memory type. The frequency of HyperTransport link was increased to 1000 MHz.
- 940-pin package / Socket AM2 - this socket added support for DDR2 SDRAM memory, which effectively doubles memory bandwidth up to 12.8 GB/sec. Please note that 940-pin processors for socket AM2 are not compatible with older socket 940, even though both sockets have the same number of pin holes.
The Athlon 64 processors were manufactured using 0.13 micron, 0.09 micron and 0.065 micron technology.

ADAAA2800ACN5 is a pre-release version of Athlon 64. This specific processor was manufactured in December 2002, that is 10 month before introduction of the Athlon 64 family. It's not clear whether this processor has 2800+ model number or not. The part number implies that it does. The CPU has 1.6 GHz internal frequency, which is 200 MHz lower than on production 2800+ processors, but ADAAA2800ACN5's large 1 MB level 2 cache should mostly compensate for the difference in internal frequency. At the same time the CPU has "AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 2600+" name string, and the processor's performance is about 5% - 12% lower than the performance of production Athlon 64 2800+ processors. It's possible that lower performance of this CPU can be attributed to very early core revision - SH-B0. The first production Athlon 64 CPUs had SH-C0 core, and it seems that there were many errata fixes between B0 and C0 cores.

This Athlon 64 3400+ has unusual suffix 'BZ' which was not used on any other processors based on K8 architecture. There are known samples of this CPU with stepping codes ABBLE and LBBLE. Judging by these codes we think that the processor has core revision E3 and is based on Venice core. It's not clear how this CPU is different from BP processors, that have the same core stepping.

ADA3800IAA4CN is the fastest single-core Athlon 64 socket AM2 processor. Even though this is not overall the fastest single-core AMD processor, for many people it's still a good and cheap upgrade option due to very good price/performance ratio. Being 30% - 40% cheaper than the Athlon 64 4000+ CPU, it's only a few percent slower than the 4000+. The difference in performance between this processor and AMD Athlon 64 FX-57 is approximately 10% - 15%, while the FX-57 CPU is 2.5 - 3 more expensive.
