Athlon is a family of CPUs designed by AMD, targeted mostly at the desktop market. The name "Athlon" has been largely unused as just "Athlon" since 2001 when AMD started naming its processors Athlon XP, but in 2008 began referring to single core 64-bit processors from the AMD Athlon X2 and AMD Phenom product lines. Later the name began being used for some APUs.

Notes Note 1: Athlons use a double data rate (DDR) front-side bus, (EV-6) meaning that the actual data transfer rate of the bus is twice its physical clock rate. The FSB's true data rate, 200 or 266 MT/s, is used in the tables, and the physical clock rates are 100 and 133 MHz, respectively. The multipliers in the tables above apply to the physical clock rate, not the data transfer rate.
