AMD Athlon 64 to be Adopted by HP

This must certainly be a big design win for Advanced Micro Devices and its Athlon 64 processor since HP has description of a personal computer based on AMD microprocessor on its own web-site. HP, who co-developed Itanium 2 CPU, was rather skeptical about other 64-bit processors in the past, however, a guy from over this web-site managed to find a document about Athlon 64 PC over HP.com

In the document published one of these days describes a personal computer branded as Model t182k. It features AMD Athlon 3100+ processor with 1.80GHz core-clock and 1MB of L2 cache, Boxster-UL6E mainboard on VIA 8KT400M, 256MB of PC2700 memory, 80GB HDD, GeForce4 MX440 graphics card and so on.

In case the document is absolutely correct, I can conclude that AMD’s performance rating for Athlon 64 processors does not seem to be adequate enough. Even the Athlon 64 chip model 2800+ functioning at 1.60GHz and tested by us earlier this year was slower compared to Intel Pentium 4 processor 2.80GHz at 800MHz Quad Pumped Bus and with the Hyper-Threading technology. The Pentium 4 processor 3.20GHz with 800MHz QPB and HT technology, coming out in a week, as well as Prescott processors 3.20GHz, set to come in the fourth quarter, will certainly be a lot faster compared to Athlon 64 3100+ in quite a lot of applications. There also will be cases when the Athlon 64 3100+ is able to beat the rivals, hence, you should carefully investigate the performance of AMD’s newcomer before buying it.

This is a very good news for AMD since HP is the largest PC maker on the planet and also one of the largest AMD's customers.
