This page will show all objects that classify as AMD Geode NX. The Geode NX has been made by Advanced Micro Devices, a multinational semiconductor that develops microprocessors, chipsets and graphic processors (ATi). AMD is the second largest microprocessor manufacturer after Intel and has active since 1969.
In 1982 AMD signed a contract with Intel to become a licensed second-source manufacturer. IBM wanted the Intel 8086/8088 but IBM's policy stated that at least two suppliers should be available. This is why the first AMD processors always have 'Intel' printed somewhere. After a while AMD didn't get the license to produce Intel processors anymore and thus AMD started cloning the 386 and launched the Am386. Since the AMD K5, AMD didn't clone the Intel processor but started developing on their own. The K5 wasn't a big success but thanks to NexGen that merged into AMD the K6 could be made. AMD could compete and has a range of processors today including six-core Opterons and a good performing quad-core for the desktop called the Phenom II X4.
AMD also acquired ATi to get in-house graphics chips. These are integrated in chipsets to create cheap motherboard solutions. In the future (The Future is Fusion as AMD calls it) the plans are to integrate the graphics chip into the processor.
AMD Geode NX 1750 'ANXS1750FXC3M'
The name Geode was launched by National Semiconductor in 1999. That chip was derived from Cyrix' MediaGX. AMD bought the Geode in 2003 and continued with the Geode GX, LX and NX. The first two are Cyrix-designs and the latter is an Athlon XP.
This Geode NX 1750 uses a Thoroughbred core like many desktop and mobile Athlon XP's did. The cores on the Geode NX run with a lower core voltage, however. Because the Geode NX has one of the finer chips in quality they usually overclock quite good. This CPU does it's job quite well but not as good as my trusty (and darn good) Athlon XP 1800+ 'Thoroughbred' which is about 2,5 years older.
To use the Geode NX you need a suitable motherboard. I ran it on the SiS745-based ECS K7S6A. In case you want to run a Geode NX be sure to Google for compatible motherboards. It's most likely you have to use a SiS or VIA chipset. nForce2 tends to be more difficult. > Read more
