7th Generation Performance
Chipset for the
AMD Athlon™ XP
VIA Confidential and Proprietary- 31 Design Wins
“If you want to pick up an Athlon motherboard any time
soon, you really ought to take a look at the KT400
models, Our recommendation is based quite simply on
the high equipment standard and the undisputedly great
performance with DDR333” October 2002

•AMD 333MHz FSB is maxed out at 2.7GB/s,
equivalent to the maximum theoretical
bandwidth in a single channel DDR333
configuration
•Dual DDR configurations for the AMD Athlon™ XP
are overkill and needlessly raise the cost of the
platform
•The key to performance is the efficiency of the
North Bridge memory controller and CPU

array of pretech buffers to reduce latency in the
memory controller, enabling more intelligent
read/write sequencing and extending performance
at a lower transistor cost than dual channel
implementations
