New Six-Core AMD Opteron EE Processor Now Available

AMD has announced the immediate availability of its Six-Core AMD Opteron EE processor at 40W ACP. Delivering up to 31 percent higher performance-per-watt over standard Quad-Core AMD Opteron processors, the Six-Core AMD Opteron EE processor is tailored to meet the demands of customers, who need strong performance, but must trim out every watt possible in a server system and reduce the data centre’s power draw.

All of AMD’s low power processors are fully-featured and available with the same AMD Virtualisation (AMD-V) technology and AMD-P features for advanced virtualisation and power savings capability as standard power versions. This 40W ACP processor is currently being integrated in custom solutions programs and will be available from system builders for cloud and Web 2.0 customers where density and low power are key considerations.

“It’s important for our industry to look at how technology is being used and where customers have emerging needs,” said Patrick Patla, vice president and general manager, Server and Workstation Division. “The AMD Opteron EE processor enables OEMs to deliver energy-sipping servers that don’t compromise on power management, virtualisation or performance features. It is specifically designed to help address the challenges that are generating a great deal of discussion these days – building and running very dense data centres for Web services, while doing more with less.”
