5.3 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.

5.4 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
BIOS allows you to disable or enable processor cores. The cores will remain as defined after a
reboot.
