What the Athlon 64 3000+ (1.35v) is
The AMD Athlon 64 3000+ (1.35v) is a 2 GHz single-core desktop processor from 2006. It runs one K8 core at 2 GHz with no turbo, so 1 core gives 1 thread. Cache is 512 KB of L2 on a 90 nm process. Power is rated at 51 W on Socket 754.
The 1.35v version uses the E6 stepping with lower voltage than the 1.4v version on the same 800 MT/s HyperTransport link with a 10x multiplier. It exists because AMD binned Venice dies for lower voltage budget towers without changing clocks or cache.
Socket and motherboard compatibility
The 3000+ (1.35v) drops into Socket 754 boards with DDR memory and a BIOS that lists Venice single cores. It pairs with budget chipsets contemporary with Venice. 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 any 51 W rated Socket 754 heatsink on the 90 mm two-hole mount, with CoolnQuiet trimming draw at idle.
Upgrade paths
On Socket 754 the upgrade is the AMD Athlon 64 3400+ at 2.4 GHz with the same 512 KB cache, or a Sempron 3400+ for a lower cost. Beyond Socket 754 a move to Socket 939 or AM2 needs a new board and memory.
