The AMD Athlon 64 3000+ was a desktop processor with 1 core, launched in January 2001. It is part of the Athlon 64 lineup, using the Venice architecture with Socket 754. Athlon 64 3000+ has 512 KB of L2 cache and operates at 2000 MHz. AMD is making the Athlon 64 3000+ on a 90 nm production node using 69 million transistors. The multiplier is locked on Athlon 64 3000+, which limits its overclocking potential.
With a TDP of 51 W, the Athlon 64 3000+ consumes typical power levels for a modern PC. AMD's processor supports DDR1 memory with a single-channel interface. Although the processor doesn't come with integrated graphics, certain motherboards with compatible chipsets can provide this capability.
The SSE4 instruction set is not supported, which can cause problems with modern games, as they require that capability.
