The AMD K8 Hammer, also code-named SledgeHammer, is a computer processor microarchitecture designed by AMD as the successor to the AMD K7 Athlon microarchitecture. The K8 was the first implementation of the AMD64 64 …

AMD K8 Hammer – also known as AMD Family 0Fh. Based on the K7 but was designed around a 64-bit ISA, added an integrated memory controller, HyperTransport communication fabric, L2 cache sizes up to 1 MB (1128 KB total cache), and SSE2. Later K8 added SSE3.

AMD K8 family is the eighth and the latest generation of AMD microprocessors. The first members of this family, server-class Opteron processors, were introduced on April 22, 2003. Shortly after that the company released Athlon 64 and Athlon 64 FX high-performance desktop processors.

James B. Keller [1] (born 1958/1959) [2] is an American microprocessor engineer best known for his work at AMD, Apple, and Tesla. He was the lead architect of the AMD K8 microarchitecture [3] [4] [5] (including the original Athlon 64) [3] [6] [7] and was involved in designing the Athlon (K7) [5] and Apple A4/A5 processors.

AMD Athlon 64 is a 64-bit microprocessor based on K8 architecture and designed for desktop computers. These microprocessors include all basic features of K8 micro-architecture, such as split 128 KB level 1 cache, exclusive 512 KB or 1 MB level 2 cache, AMD64 technology, Enhanced Virus Protection, and support for SSE2 instructions.

The terms “K8” and “Hammer” are AMD’s internal names for the processor microarchitecture that will be described in detail throughout this book. AMD uses the K8 microarchitecture for several lines of processors such as: no—AreM ODtp TM n—AolhM ADt TM 64 n—AolhM ADt TM 64 FX no—Ai rMu TD TM

Mar 5, 2016 · AMD K8 is a processor microarchitecture, which was the first to implement the AMD64 instruction set as an extension to the x86 architecture. The following x86 processors use the AMD K8 microarchitecture:

Jul 28, 2022 · In this article, we’ll be looking at K8’s architecture using data from the AMD Athlon FX-62. This chip implemented two K8 cores on AMD’s own 90nm process, and ran at 2.8 GHz. It went head to head against Intel’s Netburst based chips …
