AMD Opteron™ Processors

Top-line performance that's bottom-line efficient
   -
Quad-Core AMD Opteron processor-based servers give you the performance efficiency to handle real world workloads with superior value and energy efficiency at every price point
  - Exceptional performance and performance-per-watt solutions for today's most demanding business applications
  - AMD PowerNow! Enhanced Power Efficient technology delivering increased power savings on demand performance-per-watt capabilities

More Versatility
  -
Deliver more with quad-core innovations providing more performance in the same power and thermal envelopes
  - Ready to scale with a single, consistent platform that spans from 2P to 8P servers
  - More energy efficient with AMD-P technologies and a full feature-set across 55W to 105W systems

Workload Optimization
  - More clocks for greater scalability for compute intensive and technical applications
  - Designed to optimize both CPU-bound and memory/IO-bound latencies
  - Performance for applications that need higher amounts of threading
  - HT Assist helps increase overall system performance in four-socket and eight-socket servers by reducing cache probe traffic between processors
  - Four way stream memory bandwidth performance improves significantly while producing faster quesries for HPC cache sensitive applications
  - Optimized virtualization with AMD Virtualization™ (AMD-V) technology runs highly efficient VMs and can migrate with ease

Total Cost Advantage
  - Affordable choices let you meet business needs with configurations that help maximize your IT spend
  - Easy to acquire and own helping you lower indirect costs and simplify server management
  - Socket compatible for easy qualification - offering consistency, common design and power efficiency to ehlp reduce TCO
  - AMD64 technology allows you to minimize the cost of transitions and maxmize past investments in hardware, software and personnel
