The Six-Core AMD Opteron™ processor with AMD chipset is AMD’s first server platform combining the CPU and chipset that gives system designers Hyper Transport™ 3.0 technology, PCI Express® 2.0 and new AMD Virtualization™ (AMD-V™) technology features such as IO-virtualization and bridges Six-Core AMD Opteron™ processor with AMD chipset platform designs with AMD’s future platforms*.

  • Unified server platforms with AMD on AMD – benefits of processor + chipset

  • Enhanced platforms with chipset choices and key technologies

    • Ultra power efficient platform designed for cloud and dense deployments (using AMD Opteron™ EE processor and S5650 chipset)

    • First 4P x86 Platform with PCI Express® 2.0 for HPC applications

    • Three chipset solutions to optimize workloads


  • Extends AMD Virtualization™ (AMD-V™) technology and AMD-P suite of features
Benefits of Six-Core AMD Opteron™ processor with AMD Chipset
 

*The Six-Core AMD Opteron™ processor with AMD chipset platform uses AMD SR56x0 and SP5100 chipsets compatible with Quad-Core AMD Opteron™ (formerly codenamed ‘Shanghai’) and Six-Core AMD Opteron™ (formerly codenamed ‘Istanbul’) processors. Future platforms are expected to leverage chipsets SR56x0 and SP5100 but will use a different processor socket design

**Based on comparison of PCI Express® Base 2.0 @ 5.0 GT/s vs. PCI Express® 1.0 @ 2.5 GT/s
