What the Athlon XP-M 3000+ is
The AMD Athlon XP-M 3000+ is a 2.2 GHz mobile processor from March 2003. It runs one K7 Barton core at 2.2 GHz with no turbo, so 1 core gives 1 thread. Cache is 512 KB of L2 on a 130 nm process. The package is Socket 462 for notebooks with DDR slots. This page omits a TDP rating because the cpu_list 72 W figure lacks support in opened sources for this exact XP-M bin.
The 3000+ mobile shares its 2.2 GHz and 512 KB rating with desktop Barton 3200+ parts at lower power in towers, yet mobile power tables replace tower curves. All use PowerNow control with a 266 MT/s or 333 MT/s bus depending on the board. AMD aimed the 3000+ mobile at large notebooks that needed flagship K7 clocks on the road. The chip supports MMX, Extended MMX, SSE, 3DNow and Enhanced 3DNow.
Top mobile clocks need a large chassis. The 2.2 GHz core with 512 KB requires a desktop-replacement heat pipe with strong fans, not a thin notebook cooler. That is why the 3000+ mobile suited road warriors with wall power, rather than frequent flyers.
Socket and motherboard compatibility
The XP-M 3000+ fits Socket 462 large notebooks with DDR memory and Barton mobile support. It needs a notebook Socket 462 board qualified for top mobile clocks. The Socket vs chipset: what decides whether a CPU works guide covers pairing rules.
Flagship large notebooks are the natural match. Maker qualification matters most at the top bin, since all power delivery runs near peak.
Memory, PCIe and cooling
Memory is DDR through the board chipset with notebook slots. The CPU has no controller.
Front side bus operation ties the CPU to the chipset, while graphics hangs off the chipset. No PCIe lanes originate on the die. Cooling is the large notebook heat pipe with strong fans.
Upgrade paths
On Socket 462 the 3000+ tops XP-M Barton, so same socket upgrades stop here. Desktop Barton 3200+ parts offer similar clocks in towers. Beyond Socket 462 a move to Socket 754 needs a new notebook. The chip lifts with the lever, so swaps need no solder work.
