| + | AMD announced their first multiprocessing-capable platform at Computex Taipei on June 5th, 2001. The platform includes the Athlon MP processors as well as the {{amd|AMD-760MP}} northbridge [[chipset]]. {{amd|AMD-760MP}} supports one- and two-way setups and Double Data Rate (DDR) memory operating at 133 MHz. At the time, AMD's vice president for their servers group stated Athlon MP processor delivers up to 38% higher performance over their competition (presumably referring to {{intel|Xeon}}). |

| |
− | In early 2002 [http://www.hardwarezone.com/articles/articles.hwz?cid=2&aid=393&page=2 HardwareZone.com published an article] detailing the ability to modify a stock {{amd|Athlon XP}} processor (which shares an identical core to the Athlon MPs) to allow it to recognize dual-socket configuration effectively turning it into an expensive Athlon MP processor. The modification is a trivial bridge on the L5 circuit on the top of the Athlon XP package (see article for detail). Various degrees of success has been reported.

− | Palomino-based microprocessors (i.e. Model 6) were manufactured on AMD's mature [[180 nm process]] copper interconnect technology at Fab 30 foundry in [[wikipedia:Dresden, Germany|Dresden, Germany]]. The core implements an exclusive 256 [[KiB]] [[L2$]] and a 128 KiB [[L1$]]. As with all [[Socket A]] processors ({{decc|EV6}} system bus), Athlon MP operate on a 133 MHz FSB DDR (double data rate) yielding an effective 266 MT/s transfer rate (note that 'B' models operated at a lower FSB of 100 MHz). These processors support {{x86|MMX}}, {{x86|SSE}}, {{x86|Enhanced 3DNow!}}, and {{amd|SmartMP Technology}}. AMD came short with Palomino by not supporting {{x86|SSE2}} which came out in the various {{intel|Pentium 4}} models that were released around the same time. | + | Palomino-based microprocessors were manufactured on AMD's mature [[180 nm process]] copper interconnect technology at Fab 30 foundry in [[wikipedia:Dresden, Germany|Dresden, Germany]].

| |
− | AMD introduced Thoroughbred-based processors (i.e. Model 8) in late [[2002]]. Those chips were manufactured on a newer [[130 nm process]] which allowed them to be clocked at higher frequencies. The new process also allowed AMD to rearrange their design which allowed them to shave off roughly 300,000 [[transistor]]s. These processors support {{x86|MMX}}, {{x86|SSE}}, {{x86|Enhanced 3DNow!}}, and {{amd|SmartMP Technology}}.

| |
− | The last chip in the Athlon MP series was introduced in early [[2003]]. The {{amd|Barton|l=core}}-based processor (i.e. model 10), which was also manufactured on a [[130 nm process]], doubled the amount of level 2 cache (to 512 KiB). Barton-based processors sold for significantly lower price than the newer Opteron models which made them attractive for entry-level servers and workstations. These processors support {{x86|MMX}}, {{x86|SSE}}, {{x86|Enhanced 3DNow!}}, and {{amd|SmartMP Technology}}.
