- BENEFIT: Helps virtualization software to run more securely and efficiently enabling a better experience when dealing with virtual systems
AMD Cool'n'Quiet™ 3.0 technology
- Enhanced power management features which automatically and instantaneously adjusts performance states and features based on processor performance requirements
- For quieter operation and reduced power requirements
- BENEFIT: Enables cooler and quieter platform designs by providing extremely efficient performance and energy usage.
AMD CoolCore™ Technology
- Reduces processor energy consumption by turning off unused parts of the processor. For example, the memory controller can turn off the write logic when reading from memory, helping reduce system power.
- Works automatically without the need for drivers or BIOS enablement.
- Power can be switched on or off within a single clock cycle, saving energy with no impact to performance.
- BENEFIT: Helps users get more efficient performance by dynamically activating or turning off parts of the processor.
Dual Dynamic Power Management™
- Enables more granular power management capabilities to reduce processor energy consumption.
- Separate power planes for cores and memory controller, for optimum power consumption and performance, creating more opportunities for power savings within the cores and memory controller.
- BENEFIT: Helps improve platform efficiency by providing on demand memory performance while still allowing for decreased system power consumption
AMD warrants that processors sold through the AMD Processor in a Box Program, which have a "qualifying" serial number, when properly installed and used, will be free from defects in material and workmanship and will substantially conform to AMD's publicly available specifications for a period of three (3) years after the date the AMD processor was purchased.
