OSA2220CXWOF - AMD OPTERON DUAL CORE MODEL 2220 (WITHOUT FAN)

Next-Generation AMD Opteron™ processors with Direct Connect Architecture introduce several new features including quad-core upgradeability, AMD Virtualization™ (AMD-V™), and energy efficient DDR2 memory. In addition, Next-Generation AMD Opteron processors are designed to advance AMDs performance-per-watt capabilities and leverage the proven technologies introduced in 2003 with first-generation AMD Opteron processors. Next-Generation AMD Opteron processors are offered in three series: the 1000 Series (up to 1P/2-core), the 2000 Series (up to 2P/4-core), and the 8000 Series (4P/8-core to 8P/16-core). The 1000 Series is built on AMDs new Socket AM2. The 2000 Series and 8000 Series are built on AMDs new Socket F (1207). Next-Generation AMD Opteron™ Processor Benefits Next-Generation AMD Opteron™ processors with DDR2 memory extend the industry-leading performance trajectory established by first-generation AMD Opteron processors while offering a seamless upgrade path to quad-core performance and leading-edge solutions to help run your business applications. AMD Opteron processors feature a Common Core Architecture that is consistent across 1-way, 2-way, 4-way, and 8-way systems and is also consistent with previous AMD Opteron processors, helping minimize the cost of transition and maximize past investments in software optimization. AMD64 technology -Runs existing installed base of 32-bit applications and operating systems at peak performance, while providing a 64-bit capable migration path. -Designed to enable 64-bit computing while remaining compatible with the vast x86 software infrastructure. -Enables a single architecture across 32- and 64-bit environments. Direct Connect Architecture -AMDs revolutionary Direct Connect Architecture helps eliminate the bottlenecks inherent in traditional front-side bus architectures. -Direct Connect Architecture connects the processors, integrated memory controller, and I/O directly to the CPU and communicates at CPU speed. -HyperTransport™ technology provides a scalable bandwidth interconnect between processors, I/O subsystems, and other chipsets, with up to three coherent HyperTransport technology links providing up to 24.0 GB/s peak bandwidth per processor. -Integrated Memory Controller - Integrated on-die DDR2 DRAM memory controller offers available memory bandwidth up to 10.7 GB/s (with DDR2-667) per processor. Quad-Core Upgradeability -AMD Opteron™ processors with DDR2 memory are designed to offer a seamless upgrade path from dual-core to quad-core when they are available in 2007 in the same thermal envelope to help leverage existing investments. -Offers a significant performance improvement while maintaining the same platform at the same power efficiency. AMD Virtualization™ (AMD-V™) -Hardware assisted AMD Virtualization™ and Direct Connect Architecture provide a balanced approach to help improve virtualization performance, enabling more virtual machines to run per server. -AMD-V™ reduces overhead by selectively intercepting instructions destined for guest environments. -Direct Connect Architecture helps guests run at near native speed. -Virtualization-aware integrated memory controller provides efficient isolation of virtual machine memory. Enhanced Performance-per-Watt -Energy-efficient DDR2 memory uses up to 30% less power than DDR1 and up to 58% less power than FBDIMM. -AMD PowerNow!™ technology with Optimized Power Management can deliver performance on demand while minimizing power consumption. -Consistent standard power roadmap with low-power options.
