amd 6 cores opteron

 

AMD to the industry announced a server workstation processors as the blueprint for the development, according to AMD vice president and president of server and workstation Randy Allen said, 45nm server processors will be the second half of the production, and will launch the second half of 2009 6 Core (6 Cores) processor “Istanbul”. In addition, third-generation Opteron processor platform will be asked in the first half of 2010, will switch to Socket G34 interface, and will in 2010-2011 between the launch of 12 core (12 Cores) processor “Magny-Cours”.

It said Randy Allen, AMD’s first use 45-nanometer process server processor “Shanghai”, in accordance with the original time-volume production in the second half of 2008, in addition to join the Hyper-Transport 3.0 support, built-in L3 Cache More capacity from 2 MB to provide 6 MB.

In addition, AMD also plans to launch in 2009 in the second half of the six core Opteron server, the core code-named “Istanbul”,six core processors will use the existing Socket F (1207) interface, compatible with the existing four-core server Platform, so that rival Intel’s six core of the United States.

It is worth noting that, AMD plans to launch the first half of 2010 third-generation AMD Opteron processor platform will use Socket G34 interface. The interface of a package of support for high-speed DDR3 memory, as well as non-synchronization of the HyperTransport 3.0, and will match the next generation of AMD RD890 chipset.

According to the latest processor AMD Socket G34 planning, the first half of 2010 will be introduced, code-named “Sao Paulo” the six core models, DDR3 will support high-speed memory and additional HyperTransport 3.0 link, will be launched immediately, 12 core processors ” Magny-Cours “, also contains the same features.
