At the beginning of this month I was telling you about a new workstation coming from HP and powered by two six-core AMD Opteron 2400 processors, to provide 34% more performance per watt than previous processor models, as well as up to 4.8 GT/s interconnect rates.
Now AMD is adding three Six-Core AMD Opteron processors featuring increased power and high energy efficiency required by cloud computing environments.
The processor manufacturer mentions in its latest press release that the Six-Core AMD Opteron HE Processor enables 18% higher performance per watt and 18% lower power consumption at the platform level.
Data centers equipped with high-performance demanding HP systems such as 2-P, 4-P and 8-P, will run on the 55W ACP Six-Core AMD Opteron HE processors, while other OEMs’ systems powered by the new AMD processors will come out in the third quarter.
Key features of AMD’s latest CPUs include high scalability and high power efficiency to support web serving workloads, while the technologies at the base of the new processors are the AMD Virtualization, in short AMD-V, AMD-P, and advanced I-O capability.
HP also promises to bring new processor models featuring high energy efficiency for computing environments focused on this aspect, as well as two Six-Core AMD Opteron SE processors for customers who need higher performance while working with CRM and database applications. These two models enable 2.8GHz processing speeds for 2-P, 4-P and 8-P systems.
