Second-Generation AMD Opteron™ Processors
Second-Generation AMD Opteron processors build on the technologies that established AMD’s industry leadership in performance-per-watt for 1-8P x86 servers and workstations.
Second-Generation AMD Opteron™ processors include the following features:
Native Dual-Core Technology
Second-Generation AMD Opteron processors feature a “native” dual-core design where the cores are on one piece of silicon versus other solutions which piece two die together into a single package. The processors, memory controllers and I/O are directly connected to each CPU.
Quad-Core Upgradeability
Second-Generation AMD Opteron processors with DDR2 memory are designed to enable an easy platform transition to Quad-Core AMD Opteron processors, for improved application performance without infrastructure-related power or cooling changes.
AMD Virtualization™ (AMD-V™)
Hardware-assisted AMD Virtualization technology helps enable high levels of efficiency and utilization by allowing the division of one computer into several virtual machines.
Superior Performance-Per-Watt
Enhanced AMD PowerNow!™ technology capabilities and energy-efficient DDR2 memory set a new standard in performance-per-watt.
DDR2 Memory
Low-power, high-performance memory enables higher throughput and at reduced operational cost compared to DDR1 and FBDIMM memory.
