AMD has introduced the new opteron processor as the world’s most advanced x86 processor ever designed and manufactured and the first native x86 quad-core microprocessor, Quad-Core AMD Opteron processor. Designed from inception for the most demanding datacenters, AMD Quad-Core AMD Opteron processor-based servers from global OEMs and system builders can deliver breakthrough capabilities to customers in a time of dramatically escalating performance-per-watt emphasis. Quad-Core AMD Opteron processors with AMD’s revolutionary Direct Connect Architecture introduce innovations that go beyond four x86 processing cores on a single die of silicon.
Some innovations of the Quad-Core AMD Opteron processor:
- energy efficiency with a 50 percent increase in integer and floating-point performance
- enhanced virtualization performance
- investment protection via a customer-centric approach enabling non-disruptive transitions from dual- to quad-core within the same power and thermal envelopes to help keep infrastructure costs down.
