The AMD Opteron™ Processor Advantage
Boost Performance while Conserving Resources
With the AMD Opteron™ processor, data centers can consolidate their servers to boost productivity and efficiency while maximizing available resources.
Most of today's servers generally sit underutilized, consuming energy, space, and other resources while waiting for users to access their dedicated applications. IT managers may wish to consolidate, but fear increasing user access times.
With servers powered by the AMD Opteron processor, consolidation is not just possible — it's also economical.
The AMD Opteron advantage
The AMD Opteron processor with Direct Connect Architecture is built on AMD64 technology, enhancing system efficiency and scalability.
Direct Connect Architecture directly connects memory to the CPU. By eliminating the front side bus, the AMD Opteron processor yields faster memory access that can improve application performance.
AMD64 technology addresses more memory (256TB virtual memory, 1TB physical memory), and can run both 32-bit and 64-bit software simultaneously without compromising performance.
These enhancements come without an increase in power consumption.
Better efficiency, greater productivity, and enhanced scalability means each server can handle more work with the AMD Opteron processor.
