The AMD-750™ chipset is optimized for the seventh-generation AMD Athlon™ microprocessor family enabling high performance PC systems. In addition, the AMD-750 chipset offers cutting-edge system capabilities like 200 MHz Athlon system bus, AGP, PC-100 SDRAM with ECC, PCI, UDMA/66, 4 port OHCI USB, SMBus and ACPI. These features have been created to enable systems that are Microsoft® PC99 compliant.

Performance Advantage: 200 MHz Athlon System Bus

The 1.6GB/sec bandwidth of the 200 MHz AMD Athlon system bus provides 50-100% more bandwidth over older systems with 100 and 133MHz system bus speeds. This increase in CPU-to-system bandwidth provides a significant advantage for leading edge systems where graphics, memory and I/O have aggregate bandwidth requirements in excess of 1.3GB/s. With optimizations that exploit the high bandwidth 200 MHz Athlon system bus, the AMD-750 chipset enables stunning performance for 3D video and multimedia applications that require concurrent and very high throughput interactions between CPU-to-memory, CPU-to-AGP, CPU-to-PCI, AGP-to-memory, and PCI-to-memory.

AMD-750™ Chipset

The AMD-750™ chipset represents AMD's first-generation core-logic solution, offering high performance capability to desktop systems implementing AMD Athlon processor modules. The AMD-750 chipset consists of the AMD-751™ system controller (Northbridge) and the AMD-756™ peripheral bus controller (Southbridge). This high-performance desktop solution provides the following features:

Uniprocessor system design supporting AMD Athlon Processor Modules (PGA versions of the Athlon processor,and Duron class processors are not supported.)

A 200-MHz Athlon system bus, offering data transfer rates of up to 1.6 GB/s

PC100 memory interface

AGP-2X interface

A 33-MHz, 32-bit PCI bus interface

EIDE storage subsystem supporting ATA-33 and ATA-66 modes
