The AMD Athlon XP 1700+ was a desktop processor with 1 core, launched in June 2002. It is part of the Athlon XP lineup, using the Thoroughbred-B architecture with Socket A. Athlon XP 1700+ has 256 KB of L2 cache and operates at 1467 MHz. AMD is making the Athlon XP 1700+ on a 130 nm production node using 37 million transistors. The multiplier is locked on Athlon XP 1700+, which limits its overclocking potential.
With a TDP of 50 W, the Athlon XP 1700+ consumes typical power levels for a modern PC. AMD's processor supports DDR1 memory. The highest officially supported memory speed is 400 MT/s, but with overclocking (and the right memory modules) you can go even higher. Although the processor doesn't come with integrated graphics, certain motherboards with compatible chipsets can provide this capability.
Many games will refuse to start on this processor due to the lack of the SSE2/SSE3/SSE4 instruction set.
