This week, AMD proudly launches the next generation of AMD Opteron™ processors, built with revolutionary new core architecture designed to power the cloud with improved performance, scalability and efficiency.
With ground-breaking architecture featuring up to 16 cores, AMD Opteron processors can quickly scale up to handle serious workloads so you can expand your business into the cloud.
AMD Opteron 6200 Series Processors: The world’s first and only 16-core x86 processor is optimized for high performance and scalability.
AMD Opteron 4200 Series Processors: The world’s lowest power x86 cloud processor(1) just got more energy-efficient. Introducing the New AMD OpteronTM 6200 Series Processor
(1) As of November 14, 2011, AMD Opteron™ processor Models 4200 EE have the lowest known power per core of any x86 server processor, at 35W TDP (35W/8 = 4.375W/core). Intel's lowest power per core server processor, L5630, is 40W TDP (40W/4 = 10W/core). See http://ark.intel.com/products/series/47915. Previous record held by AMD Opteron processor Models 4100 EE at 35W TDP / 6 cores = 5.83 W/core. SVR-58
