AMD Unveils Three New 55W Six-Core Opteron CPUs

Since their initial introduction of multi-core processors for the server market, AMD wanted to help IT managers reduce datacenter energy costs without compromising performance. These processors are specifically designed to address rising demand for balanced systems with increased performance yet greater power-efficiency for cloud computing and web serving environments. They are the highest performance-per-watt processors that AMD has ever brought to market. This feature will help drive down power consumption while addressing the shifting cloud and Web landscape of today’s datacenter.

The new Six-Core AMD Opteron HE processors are well suited for Web serving and cloud computing workloads and are available with the same AMD Virtualization (AMD-V) technology and AMD-P technology features and advanced I/O capabilities as the standard power Six-Core AMD Opteron processors. These new processors also offer up to 18 percent lower platform-level power consumption over the standard wattage version. Additionally they deliver up to 18 percent better performance-per-watt compared to the quad-core version.
