History of AMD

AMD processors are the most stringent competitor for Intel processor. AMD has always made ​​a faster processor than Intel. That's why AMD is more suitable for gaming and running heavy applications (such as 3-dimensional simulation). But because AMD is always faster than Intel, then AMD is less well-known heat stable and faster. Can be said if the issue of speed, AMD came out ahead. But the problem of durability and stability, more unggul.Selain Intel's, AMD is always cheaper than Intel processors, although the same processor speed.
AMD 386SX

Processor is said to be the exact clone of the Intel 80386 processor design. Start from here that AMD began to appear
as a competitor of Intel.

AMD K5

K5 is the first processor designed to compete with Intel's Pentium I processor. So the processor can be used as an alternative from Intel Pentium I.

AMD K6

K6 was launched almost simultaneously with the Pentium II era. AMD K6 arguably the most serious competitor at the time of the Pentium II era. This is because the AMD K6 has the same speed as the Pentium II, but with a cheaper price.

AMD Athlon

Athlon created as a competitor of Intel Pentium III. But the Athlon has a higher speed than the Pentium III at the same price (sometimes even cheaper). AMD Athlon processor that could be most in demand after Intel for several years. Athlon has a speed of up to 1 GHz.

AMD Duron

AMD Duron processor is created as an alternative with a lower price than AMD's own processor, the Athlon. Besides the launch of the AMD Duron along with periods of Intel Pentium III and Intel Celeron. Even the AMD Duron processor dare sell faster with a lower price. The current speed is 800 MHz to 1.8 GHz.

AMD Sempron

AMD Sempron made ​​to replace the AMD Duron processor and as a competitor to Intel Celeron D. However, AMD Sempron has the shape and characteristics are almost exactly with the Pentium IV. This processor speeds range from 1 GHz to 2.7 GHz.

AMD Opteron

AMD Opteron is AMD's first processor that supports AMD64 instruction set (x86-64). Faster than the Opteron and Sempron has a frequency range from 1.4 GHz to 3.2 GHz.

AMD Athlon II X2

AMD Athlon X2 is the development of AMD Athlon or penggambungan Operator and AMD that support the AMD64 instruction set (x86-64). has a frequency range between 1.8GHz-3.2GHz

AMD Phenom II

AMD Phenom II Processor is a processor that has 4 cores in one chip (quad core). This processor has 64-bit architecture and has a socket AM2 + and the speed of 1.8 GHz to 3 GHz
