AMD announced the six-core

AMD recently announced five six-core " Istanbul " server chips, including three low-power 55W Opteron 2400 HE series products and two 105W Opteron 8400 SE series products.

Earlier this June, AMD also announced the first five "Istanbul" chips, but the average power consumption was 75W, clocked from 2.2GHz to 2.6GHz.

In the Opteron HE 6 core 55W series, there are 2 Opteron 2423/2425 HE products using 2 bandwidths and one Opteron 8425 HE for 4/8 bandwidth, using 45nm SOIL, Socket F technology, speed 2.0 / 2.1GHz, Level 2 6x512KB Cache, Level 3 6MB Cache, 4.8GHz FSB HT, 1.3V voltage, highest temperature 55-76 ^o C.

Meanwhile Opteron 2439/8439 SE, 105W is 2.8GHz, in addition to the highest temperature of 55-71 ^o C, the other parameters are similar to the above product.

AMD said, compared to standard 75W chip, 55W chip will reduce the system power by as much as 18%, compared to the 4-core " ShangHai " chip, can also be reduced to 18% / W.

The above product codes are as follows: OS2423PDS6DGN, OS2425PDS6DGN, OS8425PDS6DGN, OS2439YDS6DGN, OS8439YDS6DGN. The manufacturer's prices are 455, 523, 1514, 1019 and 2649 USD respectively.

Dell said it will immediately use the low-power "Istabul" chip and the new high-end feature, using the 3-product ProLiant BL685c PowerEdge M605 / M805 / M905 and 3 PowerEdge 2970 upgrades. / R805 / R905 next month, these products are suitable for important applications such as cloud computing, web application and database applications, RCM .

Systems such as HP's ProLiant G6 Server, BladeCenter LS42, and System x3755 . will also quickly use this new product.
