PRELIMINARY INFORMATION

1.2 High-Performance Design

The superscalar RISC design techniques provide next-

generation performance levels and the power to run complex

32-bit operating systems and applications. The AMD-K5 pro-

cessor features a four-issue superscalar core that incorporates

dynamic branch prediction and out-of-order speculative execu-

tion. While other 5th-generation processors feature a two-issue

core, the AMD-K5 processor’s RISC core is four-issue.

1.3 Compatibility

The AMD-K5 processor’s compatibility is established using a

rigorous testing procedure that begins with software simula-

tion before the design is first committed to silicon. Throughout

the design and manufacturing process, industry-standard tools

and systems are used for compatibility testing.

Extended compatibility and qualification testing are provided

by industry-leading personal computer and chip set manufac-

turers. Testing culminates with certification from XXCAL,

Inc., an independent third-party testing lab. This combination

of differentiating features is responsible for the AMD-K5 pro-

cessor’s overall design and performance advantages.

Compatibility with the Microsoft Windows operating system

and the immense library of x86 software furthers these advan-

tages, and is the foundation of the AMD-K5 processor’s lead-

ing-edge solution.
