Athlon was family of high-performance 32-bit microprocessors developed by AMD based on AMD's K7 microarchitecture. Athlon was introduce on June 23, 1999.

Packaging

Original Athlon Processor, Argon core, in a cartridge with a heat sink.

Early Athlon microprocessors were packaged with a separate L2$ into a single cartridge. The cartridge connected into AMD's Slot A (similar to Intel's Slot 1). Those processors included Argon, Pluto, and Orion-core based processors. Later microprocessors (starting with Thunderbird core-based) introduced on-die L2$ simplifying the packing complexity, allowing it to use a standard PGA (Socket A).

Members

Athlon had 4 iterations of cores: Argon, Pluto, Orion, Thunderbird.

Argon core

The Argon, released in 1999, uses Slot A, has a double data rate front side bus operating at 100 MHz (having an effective bus speed of 200 MHz). Argon microprocessors were manufactured in 250 nm process.

Model Frequency L2$ TDP
Athlon 500 500 MHz 512 kB 42 W
Athlon 550 550 MHz 512 kB 46 W
Athlon 600 600 MHz 512 kB 50 W
Athlon 650 650 MHz 512 kB 54 W
Athlon 700 700 MHz 512 kB 50 W

Pluto core

The Pluto core-based microprocessors were released in late 1999 and early 2000 and use Slot A. They have a double data rate front side bus operating at 100 MHz (having an effective bus speed of 200 MHz). Pluto microprocessors were manufactured in 180 nm process.

Model Frequency L2$ TDP
Athlon 550 550 MHz 512 kB 31 W
Athlon 600 600 MHz 512 kB 34 W
Athlon 650 650 MHz 512 kB 36 W
Athlon 700 700 MHz 512 kB 39 W
Athlon 750 750 MHz 512 kB 40 W
Athlon 800 800 MHz 512 kB 48 W
Athlon 850 850 MHz 512 kB 50 W
Athlon 900 900 MHz 512 kB 60 W
Athlon 950 950 MHz 512 kB 62 W

Orion core

Like Pluto core, Orion microprocessors used Slot A.

Model Frequency L2$ TDP
Athlon 1000 1000 MHz 512 kB 65 W

Thunderbird core

Thunderbird-based microprocessors were manufactured in both cartridge form (Slot A) and as PGA (Socket A).
