Description:
The AMD processor family model numbers overlap, creating confusion for customers that may be interested in finding out the CPU family and correct frequency of their processor.
Solution :
The AMD naming convention is designed to provide a relative comparison of the performance of their processors. Differences in the internal architecture of each processor family from AMD will have different values for the internal MHz of the processor and the comparative performance of each. For example, AMD has several processors that are rated at 2800+ but they have very different real clock speeds.
Model Name MHz L2 Cache CPU Family Core support by zv5000 3000
AMD Athlon XP-M 2800+ 1600 128kb 15 K8 Yes
AMD Athlon XP-M 3000+ 1600 256kb 15 K8 Yes
AMD Athlon XP-M 2800+ 1400 256kb 15 K8 No
AMD Athlon XP 2800+ 2083 512kb 10 or 8 K7 No
AMD Athlon XP-M 2800+ 2133 512kb 10 or 8 K7 No
AMD Athlon XP 2800+ 2250 256kb 10 or 8 K7 No
Newer processors are capable of running more instructions per clock cycle because of a more advanced internal architecture, so a lower clock speed can give the same performance as older processors with higher clock speeds. For this reason, it appears that the newer processors are slower than older ones when comparing the internal clock speeds alone.
To check the processor family and performance on the notebook, perform the following steps:
Right-click My Computer and select Properties. The name of the processor should be displayed and will be similar to AMD Athlon XP 3000+.
Click Start and then Run. Type msinfo32 and click OK. Read the processor value for the family ID. This value refers to the Family ID and Processor Speed.
