AMD Opteron™ 6100 Series Processor

The new AMD Opteron™ 6100 Series processor performs when the workloads get tough. Based on the next-generation AMD Direct Connect Architecture 2.0 and up to 48 total cores in a configuration, this platform more than doubles the memory bandwidth, and provides nearly 2x the I/O bandwidth of previous generation 2P and 4P servers, helping your business tackle complex jobs with greater throughput, exceptional value and readiness to scale

Performance for Demanding Workloads
- Increased performance with higher core count 8 and 12 physical cores options with improved memory and I/O bandwith providing the power to tackle larger, increasingly complex and multi-threaded applications.

- Achieve STREAM bandwidth up to and exceeding 100GB/second with the high memory scaling of Direct Connect Architecture 2.0

- Total memory bandwidth without comparison with support for four memory channels running at up to 5.2 GT/s each

- Delivering the capacity and throughput to help avoid bottlenecks and provide users a highly responsive experience with high memory and I/O bandwidth to support online workloads

Platform Consistency that Scales
- Large-scale memory capacity on an x86 platform with DDR3 memory support for up to 50% more DIMMS, and up to 66% faster memory performance, and 12MB of L3 cache and options for 8 to 12 processor cores

- Massive memory footprints with up to half a terabyte of more total system memory giving you more bandwidth than ever before to handle large-scale workloads

- Get double the memory bandwidth and nearly 2x the I/O bandwidth with four, faster HyperTransport™ 3 (HT3) links and integrated CPU/chipset platform

Business Value without Compromise
- Take budgets further with affordable server choices and gain the advantages normally reserved for high-end systems, with exceptional value and low total cost of ownership

- RAS features to help keep applications online including the ability to turn off cores and bad memory cells, and enable automatic switching to online spares in the event of problems, helping to reduce downtime risks

- Stable platform and compatibility with the next generation AMD Opteron processor, with more cores, larger memory and faster I/O
