AMD has announced widespread availability of five new low-power 45nm Quad-Core Opteron HE processors, each with 55-watt ACP. AMD says these new highly efficient processors will help meet the industry’s rising demand for low power, cost-saving data center technology.
The 45nm Quad-Core AMD Opteron HE chips will be available in eight server systems from HP. Rackable Systems will also have Quad-Core AMD Opteron HE processor-based servers available immediately and additional systems from global OEMs including Dell, Sun, and other solution providers are expected later this quarter.
The 45nm Quad-Core AMD Opteron HE processor has speeds ranging from 2.1 to 2.3 GHz. AMD claims server platforms based on these new AMD Opteron HE processors can offer up to 20% lower idle power compared to similarly configured competing systems, helping cut energy costs without compromising any of the processor features of the standard power options.
“In the current economic environment, datacenter managers are under more pressure than ever to reduce costs without compromising the latest features or performance,” said Patrick Patla, general manager, Server and Workstation Business, AMD. “The new Quad-Core AMD Opteron HE series processor offers unrivaled performance-per-watt and cost-efficiencies for a wide range of configurations without a potential front-side bus bottleneck.”
AMD have also announced two new high-performance Opteron processors, the 2.8GHz 45nm Quad-Core AMD Opteron SE processors. At the 105-watt ACP thermal envelope, these new processors are immediately available in three new systems from HP and other AMD technology partners.
