AMD Athlon XP-M 3000+

The AMD Athlon XP-M 3000+ is an end-of-life mobile processor from AMD, belonging to the Athlon XP (Barton) generation and K7 architecture. The fact pack lists one core, one thread, a 2.20 GHz base clock, 128 KB L1 cache, and 512 KB L2 cache; no L3 cache is listed. Its part number is AXMA3000FKT4C, and its release date is 2003-03-11. The database record places the CPU at the 50th percentile versus all CPUs, with an empty benchmark array and an average benchmark score of 0.

Benchmark Performance

Because the benchmarks array is empty, there is no measured benchmark score to quote. The average benchmark score is 0, and the nearestRivals array is also empty, so no rival names, scores, or deltaPct values are present. Exact percentage deltas against named competitors therefore cannot be calculated from this record. The only global ranking is percentileVsAllCpus = 50, which places the processor at the midpoint of the database's CPU population. Since the average score is 0, that percentile should be understood as a rank placeholder rather than a derived benchmark result.

In the absence of scores, the decisive structural facts are one core, one thread, and a 2.20 GHz base clock. The 128 KB L1 and 512 KB L2 cache are the only cache resources in the data, and no boost clock is listed. A 0 score can be read as an empty record rather than a literal performance value, because the benchmark list is also empty. The fact pack lists no series name and no boost clock; those absences reduce the amount of comparative context available. Since process node, transistor count, and die size are given, the part can be classified by manufacturing generation, but not by measured speed against rivals.

Power and Thermals

Thermal design is quantified by a 72 W TDP, placing the processor in the 72 W mobile thermal class. The chip is fabricated on a 130 nm process with 63 million transistors and a 101 mm² die size. That process geometry and transistor count provide context for the 72 W envelope, but the fact pack gives no temperature readings and no cooler dimensions. The K7 architecture and Barton codename are the design context in which the 72 W TDP appears.

The market segment is Mobile, so the thermal solution belongs to a mobile Socket A platform. No foundry is listed, so the exact manufacturing site is absent from the record. The empty boost clock field means there is no documented higher-frequency power state. ECC memory support is false, which is a platform validation feature rather than a thermal specification. The 130 nm process and 63 million transistor budget are historical context; the data does not quantify leakage or current draw. Overall, the 72 W TDP defines the cooling tier implied by the data: a solution capable of handling 72 W, with no further cooler type named.

Who Should Consider It

Workloads appropriate for this processor are those that fit one thread. The data lists exactly one core and one thread, so parallel workloads gain nothing from additional logical processors. For gaming, benchmark results are absent, so no frame-rate expectations can be set; the execution resources are 2.20 GHz, 128 KB L1, and 512 KB L2. For creation workloads, multi-threaded rendering is constrained by the single thread. Office-style serial tasks are the most plausible match, but memory support, memory bus, and memory bandwidth are not listed, so system throughput cannot be confirmed.

The 50th percentile and average score of 0 are not workload-specific evidence. The absence of a boost clock means the maximum frequency in the record is 2.20 GHz; any higher-frequency operation would be external to the data. Because multiplierUnlocked is true, users on compatible AMD Socket A boards can adjust the multiplier; the record does not state what performance change that produces. The lack of memory support details means a prospective user must source memory compatibility from the motherboard's chipset rather than from this CPU record.

FAQ

Q: What socket does the Athlon XP-M 3000+ use?

A: AMD Socket A.

Q: What are the cache specifications?

A: L1 cache is 128 KB and L2 cache is 512 KB; no L3 cache is listed.

Q: Does it have integrated graphics?

A: The fact pack lists integrated graphics as available "on certain motherboards (Chipset feature)", meaning graphics depend on the motherboard chipset.

Q: Is ECC memory supported?

A: No; eccMemory is false. No memory type, memory bus, or memory bandwidth is listed.

Q: Is the multiplier unlocked?

A: Yes; multiplierUnlocked is true.

Q: Is the processor still in production?

A: No; production status is end-of-life, and the release date is 2003-03-11.

Platform and Compatibility

The processor uses AMD Socket A, so boards must provide that socket. It belongs to K7 architecture, with the Barton codename and the Athlon XP (Barton) generation. The 130 nm process has 63 million transistors over a 101 mm² die. Memory support details are missing: memory type, memory bus, and memory bandwidth are all null in the fact pack. ECC memory is not supported. PCIe is also null, so expansion connectivity cannot be characterized from this record. Integrated graphics are described as a chipset feature on certain motherboards, not as a processor component. Production status is end-of-life, so current availability is not part of the data. The unlocked multiplier applies to compatible motherboards on this socket. The release date of 2003-03-11 anchors the platform's availability window. The part number AXMA3000FKT4C identifies this mobile Barton part in the record. No series name appears in the fact pack, so the part is identified only by its processor name and part number.

Single-Thread vs Multi-Thread Behavior

With one core and one thread, the CPU has no multi-thread capability in the data. There is exactly one logical processor, so any workload requiring multiple threads must run serially. The base clock is 2.20 GHz and no boost clock is listed, so frequency behavior has only one documented state. Cache resources are 128 KB L1 and 512 KB L2; no L3 cache is present.

Because the benchmarks array is empty, there is no measured split between single-thread and multi-thread performance. The percentileVsAllCpus value of 50 is not a thread-level metric, so it does not reveal single-thread efficiency. The 72 W TDP is a power envelope, not a performance metric, and it does not change the single-thread nature. In practical terms, the processor contributes one thread to any workload; parallel scaling is impossible beyond that thread.

How It Compares

The nearestRivals array is empty, so there are no rival names, scores, or deltaPct values in the record. No percentage-based comparison to a named CPU can be produced. The only comparative data point is percentileVsAllCpus = 50, which positions the processor at the midpoint of the database's CPU distribution. Because the benchmark array is empty and the average score is 0, that position is not supported by a measured score. Thus the record permits comparison to the aggregate database population, but not to any specific rival.
