Product Features

 

Direct Connect Architecture 2.0:

 

• Quad Channel Memory offers double the memory capacity and memory bandwidth of previous generations of AMD OpteronTM processors2.
• R/U-DDR3 Memory up to 1333 enables improved overall system performance compared to earlier memory technologies.
• HyperTransport Technology Assist [HT Assist] helps increases HyperTransport technology efficiency by reducing probe traffic and resolving probe issues.
• HyperTransport 3.0 Technology (HT3) with 4th HT Link and increased speed, up to 6.4GT/s provides superior system bandwidth between CPU’s and I/O to help improve system balance and scalability.
• Increased Cache and Core Count of up to 12 cores within the same package offers improved performance and performance/watt compared to prior generations for multi-threaded environments such as virtualization, database and web serving.

 

New AMD-P 2.0 Power Savings Features:

 

• APML (Advanced Platform Management Link)3 provides an interface for processor and Systems Management monitoring and controlling of system resources such as platform power consumption via p-state limits and CPU thermals to closely monitor power and cooling.
• AMD CoolSpeed Technology reduces p-states when a temperature limit is reached to allow a server to operate if the processor’s thermal environment exceeds safe operational limits.
• C1E provides a sleep state that can equate to significant power savings in the datacenter depending on system configuration.
• LV-DDR3 memory support helps to reduce overall system power consumption.
