6.3 AMD Opteron 6200 Series Processors

AMD Opteron 6200 series processors feature the following:

The processor frequency drops to 500MT/s when the system is idle to reduce power
consumption.

Application Power Management: The Thermal Design Power (TDP) of the processor denotes
its power consumption. This feature optimizes system power consumption.

Performance Monitoring Counters: The Northbridge P-states (performance states) allow more
users to access the performance monitor counters at the same time. This feature reduces
power consumption and optimizes performance within the specified TDP.

Low Voltage Memory Modules (DDR3L DIMMs): The Opteron 6200 series processors support
DDR3L DIMMs at a lower operating voltage of 1.35V.

Support for AMD Turbo Core technology.

6.4 AMD Opteron 6300 Series Processors

AMD Opteron 6300 series processors feature the following:

Improved TCO with higher performance, better performance/watt and better
price/performance than the previous generation

Enhanced power efficiency, running applications faster with the same power budget

Improved performance and performance/watt (compared to prior generations) for multi-
threaded environments like virtualization, database and web serving

Reduced power costs at low usage

Investment protection from leveraging current socket platform

Ideal for servers needing performance and scalability, like application and database servers in
the cloud, large virtualization and HPC

1/2/4 socket support

4, 8, 12, 16 cores

4 memory channels
