AMD Opteron HE Posted by Codrut Nistor at May 13, 2008 Released on the 22th of April, 2003, with the SledgeHammer(K8) core, the Opteron server processor line is Intel Xeon's direct competitor, and was also the first processor to implement the AMD64 instruction set architecture.

In another moveto keep their heads above water, AMD fires two executives, EVP of Computing Solutions Mario Rivas and Chief Talent Officer Michel Cadieux in addition to 1600 workers laid off worldwide.  The new engineering group will oversee the development and execution of AMD’s product roadmaps

Sun Expands its x64 Quad-Core AMD Opteron Processors Server Line May 13th, 2008 Sun is expanding its line in the x64 server space with the introduction of the Sun Fire X4140, Sun Fire X4240 and Sun Fire X4440 servers all of which are powered by Quad-Core AMD Opteron processors and offer a choice

  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”.

AMD launches their new innovation, the first energy-efficient x86 server processors with a four processing cores and an integrated memory controller all in a 55-watt ACP thermal envelope. The new AMD Quad-Core Opteron HE processors were designed to help datacenter manager who see power consumption and virtualization as the keys in solving their overall performance.

AMD has released its new Opteron HE (Highly Efficient) Quad-core server processors today. These energy-efficient x86 server processors require low power at 55-watts compared to its predecessors that use 75-watts.

Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) made available today new low-power quad-core Opteron processor chips. The highly efficient processors have a much lower thermal envelope of 55 watts compared to current processors, which average 75-105 watts. The new Opteron chips are aimed for servers and are available in both the 2300 and 8300 series.

AMD today introduced the industry’s first energy-efficient x86 server processors with four processing cores and an integrated memory controller all in a low 55-watt ACP thermal envelope. Blade and rack systems based on five new low-power Quad-Core AMD Opteron HE (Highly Efficient) processors are now widely available from global OEMs and solution providers.

AMD launches five Opteron HE processors Advanced Micro Devices has announced the launch of their first energy-efficient x86 server chips. These new microprocessors are loaded with four processing cores. And they feature a low 55-watt thermal envelope.

SSE2 makes Opterons slower than Athlon XPs May 11th, 2008 A JAPANESE JOURNALIST said that an investigation he’s conducted shows that using SSE2 multimedia extensions with the AMD Opteron makes the microprocessor slow to a crawl.Takeo Noguchi.
