This AMD processor combines the synergies of a wide set of sophisticated technologies to enable true multitasking. The dual-core technology of the AMD Athlon 64 X2 3600+ is designed to manage differentapplication lications at the same time, like having two processors working together, and it does this without slowing down the computer. A machine powered by such a dual-core processor can run the installed protection software while working on otherapplication lications, merging safety with performance. The clock speed of this AMD processor is 1.9 GHz and the level 2 cache is a dual 512 KB exclusive 16-way associative cache. The AMD Athlon 64 X2 3600+ features MMX technology, 3DNow!, and Enhanced Virus Protection, while the list of multimedia instructions includes SSE, SSE2, and SSE3. Another strength of this dual-core processor is the embedded AMD64 technology, a set of extensions that allows the AMD processor to run as a 64-bit microprocessor, enhancing the performance through a wider register width, a larger number of general and SSE registers, and cleaner architecture.
