The AMD Athlon 700 was a desktop processor with 1 core, launched in October 1999, at an MSRP of $849. It is part of the Athlon Model 1 lineup, using the Argon architecture with Slot A. Athlon 700 has 512 KB of L2 cache and operates at 700 MHz. AMD is building the Athlon 700 on a unknown production process using 22 million transistors. The multiplier is locked on Athlon 700, which limits its overclocking capabilities. With a TDP of 48 W, the Athlon 700 consumes typical power levels for a modern PC. The highest officially supported memory speed is 100 MT/s, but with overclocking (and the right memory modules) you can go even higher. Actual memory technology support depends on the chosen motherboard, because the memory controller is located on the motherboard (not in the processor). For communication with other components in the computer, Athlon 700 uses a PCI-Express N/A connection. This processor does not have integrated graphics, you will need a separate graphics card. Inside the box you will not only find the processor, but also a Yes cooler. A lot of games will not work on this processor, because they require the SSE instruction set, which is not supported.
