Advanced Micro Devices, Intel’s Rival ecstasy, has released two processors lines 8 and 12. These Series processors for servers have advanced Opteron 6100 Magny-Cours code name, design options 8 or 12 people. Magny-Cours is equipped with 12MB capacity L3 cache (Cache), ready for DDR3 RAM.
Interesting information disclosed by John Fruehe, director of broadcast product line servers and workstations, AMD, after online store eBay listing price Magny-Cours for the U.S. $ 7,000, for Although AMD has not officially launched.
Magny-Cours generation used “Istanbul” 6’s Opteron processors and packed them in a two HyperTransport interfaces. When equipped with 8 or 12 people in a chip package, Magny-Cours will be rectangular, instead of squares as usual.Magny-Cours 8 people using the same principles of three Phenom line. AMD did not disclose detailed information about the product, but technology for that line of Opteron processor 6000 will heat at 85-140W, same old Opteron servers and overclocked speeds range from 1.7GHz and 2.4GHz.
In addition, Magny-Cours is equipped with a new socket called Socket G34, promises to be compatible with the processor’s 8-12 “Interlagos” soon. Once again, AMD passed Intel capital equipment 3 memory channels per chip Nehalem line. Analyst Nathan Brookwood of semiconductor market share compared to Magny-Cours and cash flow Xeon Nehalem is not fair. The reason is that AMD uses HyperTransport interface connection between the components, to speed much faster than the FSB interface used to design Intel Xeon. In addition, pairs of Magny-Cours chip has 2 channel RAM, a total of four compared with three of Intel.
Nathan Brookwood also for 12’s single processor performance for the equivalent of six processors Istanbul’s twin, while reducing the speed overclock to hypothermia.
