- Improves system efficiency and application performance for computers running multiple applications at the same time or compute-intensive multi-threaded applications
- Allows users to run 32-bit and/or 64-bit applications and operating systems as they desire - without sacrificing performance
- Provides optimized memory performance, balanced throughput, expandable I/O, and more linear symmetrical multiprocessing
- Provides substantial I/O bandwidth for your current and future application needs
- Creates a significant performance benefit for applications in which large (or many) datasets are held in memory
- Allows for maximum flexibility in IT infrastructure, helping contribute to bottom line success
- Yields fast computational processing for increased performance and productivity
- Increased compute density, lower TCO for datacenters with limited power budgets
The AMD Opteron processor, enabling simultaneous 32- and 64-bit computing, represents the landmark introduction of AMD64 with Direct Connect Architecture. The AMD Opteron processor is designed to run existing 32-bit applications with outstanding performance and offers customers a simplified migration path to 64-bit computing. This evolutionary processor provides a dramatic leap forward in compatibility, performance, investment protection, and reduced total cost of ownership (TCO).
