How to Purchase Socket 64 Processors

For a computer to run necessary tasks, it requires a compatible processor (or CPU), and you can use a processor to upgrade an existing computer or to build a machine from scratch. Choosing a processor requires weighing several considerations and factors in order to choose the most functional and efficient CPU for your specific purposes.

What Does Socket Type Mean?

There are numerous variables present when purchasing a computer, and one of those is the socket type. This particular series of AMD processors are socket 754 models, but what does that mean?

• A motherboard is one of the most important components of any computer. This circuit board serves as a connector for numerous parts and enables them to communicate with each other in order to function efficiently. Each motherboard has a processor socket type.
• The socket type is referenced by a number; in this case, socket 754. They are made to make contact with the CPU itself using a pin-grid array formation.
• Each socket type is compatible with a different type of processor or series of processors, which in this case is the AMD Athlon 64 series. 

What Do These Processors Do?

These components enable you to complete everyday computing tasks. The numerous factors that go into choosing one, such as the number of cores, bus speed, and clock speed, all combine to offer various levels of efficiency and performance. Without a good CPU, your computer wouldn't be able to perform even the most low-level tasks. 

• Meant for installation in desktop and laptop computers, a CPU can expand the bandwidth of your device.
• This type of device is meant to reduce I/O bottlenecks by adding more bandwidth per processor.
• A technology called HyperTransport Technology increases the performance of the machine by reducing latent memory and supporting additional bandwidth.

How Do You Select an Athlon 64?

Choosing a CPU can be overwhelming when you're not sure which specifics you are looking for, so there are a few things to keep in mind as you browse these crucial computer components.

• Select a clock speed. Clock speed, measured in GHz, is one way to determine how fast a computer is. This number refers to how fast the CPU cycles in a certain amount of time. Although you may think a higher number would be better, that's not necessarily true because you're also using more power as clock speed increases. 
• Choose a bus speed. Measured in MHz, this number denotes how much data the circuit (or bus) can handle, which then tells you how fast it can move information across circuits in order to get to the memory controller of the CPU. A higher bus speed may mean a more efficient computer.
• You'll also want to consider cores. You might be familiar with single-core, dual-core, or quad-core models, and what this means is that each core can process one set of instructions, meaning that a quad-core can process four sets of instructions at a time.
