What the Mobile Athlon 64 3400+ is

The AMD Mobile Athlon 64 3400+ is a 2.2 GHz desktop-replacement mobile single core from January 2004. It runs one K8 core at 2.2 GHz with no turbo, so 1 core gives 1 thread. Cache is 1 MB of L2 on a 130 nm process. Power ranges up to 81.5 W on Socket 754 with PowerNow trimming draw at idle.

The desktop-replacement 3400+ served large notebooks on an 800 MT/s HyperTransport link with an 11x multiplier at about 417 dollars launch price. It exists because buyers wanted desktop 3400+ throughput with 1 MB of cache in a notebook chassis. The cpu_list 82 W value matches the table 81.5 W maximum.

Socket and motherboard compatibility

The 3400+ fits Socket 754 desktop-replacement notebooks with DDR memory and a BIOS that lists Clawhammer parts. It needs a chassis qualified for desktop-replacement power delivery. The Socket vs chipset: what decides whether a CPU works guide covers pairing rules.

Memory, PCIe and cooling

Memory is DDR in a single channel through the on-chip controller.

HyperTransport at 800 MT/s links the CPU to the chipset. PCIe or AGP slots hang off the chipset.

Cooling is the notebook vendor heat pipe assembly for a desktop-replacement chassis, with PowerNow trimming clocks and voltage on battery.

Upgrade paths

On Socket 754 the upgrade is the Mobile Athlon 64 3700+ at 2.4 GHz with 1 MB of cache, or the AMD Mobile Athlon 64 2700+ at 1.6 GHz for 35 W operation. Beyond Socket 754 a move to Socket S1 needs a new board for Turion mobiles.

Frequently asked questions
