Benefit
|
|
Direct Connect Architecture
|
Helps eliminate the bottlenecks inherent in front-side bus architectures. High-throughput responsiveness and scalability for your applications to improve overall system efficiency.
|
|
|
|
|
Up to three coherent HyperTransport™ technology links yield up to 24.0 GB/s peak bandwidth per processor
|
High-speed, bi-directional, low latency, point-to-point communication link provides a scalable bandwidth interconnect between computing cores, I/O subsystems, and other chipsets.
|
|
|
|
|
Integrated, on-die memory controller
|
Optimizes memory performance and bandwidth per CPU. Memory bandwidth scales with the number of processors.
|
|
|
|
|
Seamless upgrade path to quad-core performance
|
Take advantage of leading-edge multi-core solutions today, and continue to leverage existing investments tomorrow.
|
|
|
|
|
Upgrade to quad-core in the same thermal envelope (availability in 2007)
|
Increase computing capacity without altering datacenter infrastructure.
|
|
|
|
|
Hardware-assisted
AMD Virtualization™
|
Helps streamline virtualization deployment, improves virtualization support and helps guest x86 OSes run unmodified at industry leading execution speeds.
|
|
|
|
|
Integrated memory controller is virtualization aware
|
Enhances virtualization and provides efficient isolation of virtual machine memory for improved security and support of virtual users.
|
|
|
|
|
Energy-efficient DDR2 memory
|
Greater memory bandwidth with improved RAS (reliability, availability, serviceability) and cost savings. Introduced at a time when it makes sense for server and workstation customers.
|
|
|
|
|
AMD PowerNow!™ technology with Optimized Power Management
|
Aids in platform investment protection in today’s demanding enterprise server environments. Puts less strain on datacenter cooling and ventilation systems.
|
|
|
|
|
Spans from 1P/2-core up to 8P/16-core across a single architecture
|
Allows SMB-to-enterprise users to standardize and streamline IT support requirements and scale as business demands require.
