AMD’s new 6 core?

Posted by Michael On September - 24 - 2009

Six-Core AMD Opteron™ processors with AMD chipset

Tomorrow’s designs delivered today
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*.

Fast-track your designs: As an integrated server platform, the Six-Core AMD Opteron™ processor with AMD chipset enables the CPU, chipset, reference designs and technical information that can help you get to market faster and deliver server computing products with technology features on the leading edge

Multiply your bandwidth: Part of the AMD Direct Connect Architecture, the Six-Core AMD Opteron™ processor with AMD chipset delivers HyperTransport™ 3.0 technology speed between the processor and I/O, up to 4.8 GT/s, with support for PCI Express® 2.0 that can double the I/O bandwidth** compared to previous AMD Opteron™ processor chipset designs

Virtualize I/O more efficiently: The Six-Core AMD Opteron™ processor with AMD chipset includes I/O virtualization technology that isolates and separates virtual machines, enabling increased I/O performance through the support of direct device assignment. Improved address translation can reduce hypervisor intervention and increased security and efficiency throughout

Connect with tomorrow: The Six-Core AMD Opteron™ processor with AMD chipset supports today’s Quad-Core AMD Opteron™ (codename “Shanghai”) and Six-Core AMD Opteron (codename “Istanbul”) processors and prepares you with a proven chipset solution for G34 and C32 socket platforms designs of tomorrow*

AMD has not set a release date as far as I can see. But rumors abound about the second half of 2009.

Now as an AMD fan myself, I can not wait for these to be released. In my opinion this will beat the i7 with it’s 6 cores working together the way they do.

Information on this page was directly from AMD them selves and no way fully represent AGL network.
