About the AMD Athlon XP 2800+ CPU

The AMD Athlon XP 2800+ is an end-of-life 1-core (1-thread) processor built for the desktop CPU market. It launched in Q1 2003 with a suggested retail price of $375. It is part of AMD's Athlon XP lineup, which is based on the Barton microarchitecture. The XP 2800+ is compatible with AMD Socket A motherboards and is fabricated on a 130 nm manufacturing process.

Memory and Cache

In terms of cache, the Athlon XP 2800+ has multiple levels of cache. Its L1 cache, which is the smallest and fastest, is 128 KB in size, providing rapid access to crucial instructions. Its L2 cache, at 512 KB, is larger but slower than the L1.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The Athlon XP 2800+ is a single-core and single-threaded CPU, making it not capable of processing multiple computational tasks in parallel. The base clock speed of the CPU is 2.1 GHz. Higher clock speeds result in higher performance for the same microarchitecture. The multiplier is locked, making it incapable of overclocking for pushing performance further.

Integrated Graphics

The Athlon XP 2800+ does not include an integrated graphics solution. A dedicated graphics card will be required if you require a monitor with your computer.

About the Intel Core 2 Duo E6700 CPU

The Intel Core 2 Duo E6700 is an end-of-life 2-core (2-thread) processor built for the desktop CPU market. It launched in Q3 2006 with a suggested retail price of $316. It is part of Intel's Core 2 Duo lineup, which is based on the Conroe microarchitecture. The Duo E6700 is compatible with Intel Socket 775 motherboards and is fabricated on Intel's 65 nm manufacturing process.

Memory and Cache

The Core 2 Duo E6700 supports DDR1, DDR2, DDR3 memory and features a dual-channel memory controller, allowing it to utilize 2 memory modules simultaneously. In terms of cache, the Core 2 Duo E6700 has multiple levels of cache. Its L1 cache, which is the smallest and fastest, is 64 KB in size, providing rapid access to crucial instructions. Its L2 cache, at 4 MB, is larger but slower than the L1.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The Core 2 Duo E6700 features 2 total cores which can process 2 threads simultaneously. The multi-threading capability allows the CPU to execute multiple computational tasks in parallel. The base clock speed of the CPU is 2.7 GHz. Higher clock speeds result in higher performance for the same microarchitecture. The multiplier is locked, making it incapable of overclocking for pushing performance further.

Integrated Graphics

The Core 2 Duo E6700 does not include an integrated graphics solution. A dedicated graphics card will be required if you require a monitor with your computer.
