Preliminary Information
AMD-K6™-IIIE+ Embedded Processor Data Sheet
23543A/0—September 2000
In addition, the processor supports advanced branch prediction logic by
implementing an 8192-entry branch history table, a branch target cache, and a return
address stack, which combine to deliver better than a 95% prediction rate. These
design techniques enable the AMD-K6-IIIE+ processor to issue, execute, and retire
multiple x86 instructions per clock, resulting in excellent scaleable performance.
Industry-Standard x86 Architecture
The AMD-K6-IIIE+ processor is x86 binary code compatible. AMD’s extensive
experience through six generations of x86 processors has been carefully integrated
®
into the processor to enable compatibility with Windows
98, Windows 95, Windows
®
3.x, Windows NT, DOS, Linux, OS/2, Unix, Solaris, NetWare
, and other leading x86
operating systems and applications. The AMD-K6-IIIE+ processor is also compatible
with leading real-time operating systems (RTOS) commonly used in embedded
applications, such as pSOS, QNX, RTXC, and VxWorks. Additionally, the AMD
FusionE86
third-party tool support program offers extensive development support
SM
for AMD-K6-IIIE+ processor designs.
The AMD-K6-IIIE+ processor is Super7 and Socket 7-compatible. The Super7
platform is an extension to the popular and robust Socket 7 platform. See “Super7™
Platform” on page 8 for more information.
AMD is the world’s second-leading supplier of PC processors compatible with the
Wi n d ow s o p e ra t i n g s y s t e m , h av i n g s h i p p e d m o re t h a n 1 2 0 m i l l i o n x 8 6
microprocessors, including more than 60 million Windows-compatible processors. The
AMD-K6-IIIE+ processor for embedded applications is the latest member in this long
line of processors. With its combination of state-of-the-art features, industry-leading
performance, high-performance 3DNow! technology and multimedia engines, x86
compatibility, and low-cost infrastructure, the AMD-K6-IIIE+ processor is the
superior choice for high-performance embedded systems.
1.2
Process Technology
The AMD-K6-IIIE+ processor is implemented using an AMD-developed, state-of-the-
art low power 0.18-micron process technology. This process technology features a
split-plane design that enables the AMD-K6-IIIE+ processor to deliver excellent
performance solutions while utilizing a lower processor core voltage, which results in
lower power consumption, while the I/O portion operates at the industry-standard
3.3-V level.
