AMD’s six-core Opteron processor released
AMD has announced the availability of the first six-core server processor, with Direct Connect Architecture, named “Istanbul”. AMD states these new server processors will deliver up to 34% more performance per watt. Six-Core AMD Opteron processor-based servers give you the performance efficiency to handle real world workloads, with outstanding value and work efficiency . Unlike other products focused on raw performance, AMD technology-based servers supply one platform to cheer on the top-line requirements of business with a total cost advantage you can obtain right to the bottom-line.
More Performance * Serve more with six-core providing more performance. * Equipped to scale with a single, consistent platform that spans from 2P to 8P servers. * More power efficient with AMD-P technologies and a full feature-set across product line.
Better Workload handling * Optimized virtualization with AMD Virtualization (AMD-V) Technology runs highlyuseful VMs and can migrate with ease * Better bandwidth (contrastd to previous releases) for database, email and application serving, through features like HT Assist * Dense computing efficiencies bring Web 2.0 and cloud computing into the mainstream
Major Product Features * 6 real cores * HyperTransport technology (HT) support * Raised HT3 bandwidth * AMD-P energy management technologies * AMD-Virtualization (AMD-V) technology * Equal power/thermal ranges as Quad-Core AMD Opteron generations
The Benefits Six Cores per socket provides increased performance and performance/watt (compared to past releases) for multithreaded environments like virtualization, database, and web serving. HyperTransport Technology Help (HT Assist) reduces cache probe traffic between processors, which can result in faster queries in 4 and 8-way servers that can increase efficiency for cache sensitive applications such as database, virtualization, and compute intensive applications. HyperTransport 3.0 Technology (HT3) raises interconnect rate from 2GT/s with HT1 up to a maximum 4.8GT/s with HT3, helping to make better overall system balance and scalability for scale out computing environments like HPC, database, and web serving. AMD-P suite of power management options are developed into AMD Opteron processors, including AMD PowerNow! Technology, AMD CoolCore Technology, and Dual Dynamic Power Management – improvements that help drive down power use and cost, making AMD Opteron processor-based servers among the “greenest” anywhere.
AMD has introduced new Six Core Processornamed AMD Opteron. The price comparison always goes in favor of AMD Processor.
