NEW DELHI: AMD has announced the launch of four new processors in the AMD Athlon 64 processor family featuring Enhanced Virus Protection (EVP) capability for desktop and mobile computing when enabled by the upcoming Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 2.





According to the press release, the AMD Athlon 64 FX-53 and AMD Athlon 64 processors 3800+, 3700+ and 3500+ also offer power-management capability with AMD's Cool'n'Quiet technology.





The AMD Athlon FX-53 processor and AMD Athlon processors 3800+ and 3500+ are now available in AMD's new 939-pin package, a platform designed to provide customers with enhanced performance and longevity. They also feature the exclusive Direct Connect Architecture, which directly connects the memory controller and I/O to the central processor unit, improving overall system performance and efficiency. It helps eliminate the bottlenecks inherent in older, competitive technologies that feature a front-side bus. In fact, it provides up to 1600MHz, while the competitor's current technology runs at 800MHz.





The new AMD Athlon 64 FX-53 processor and AMD Athlon 64 processors 3800+, 3700+, and 3500+ are available immediately worldwide. AMD is introducing the AMD Athlon FX-53 processor, and AMD Athlon processor models 3800+ and 3500+ in a new recyclable Processor-In-a-Box (PIB) packaging developed to improve ease-of-use and reduce environmental impact.





All pricing is in 1,000-unit quantities. The AMD Athlon 64 FX-53 processor is priced at $799. The AMD Athlon 64 processor models 3800+, 3700+ and 3500+ are priced at $720, $710 and $500, respectively.
