Maximize Performance-Per-Watt

For three years, data centers globally have wasted a lot of money. If you're not running AMD Opteron™ processor-based servers, your data center is no different.

It's time to stop putting up with servers that waste power, waste cooling costs, and waste precious square footage in your data center. It's time to upgrade to AMD Opteron processor-based servers.

Getting your data center to run on a lean budget begins with the AMD Opteron processor. You can start with leading edge server performance thanks to the Direct Connect Architecture of the Dual-Core AMD Opteron processor.

The direct communication between logic cores helps improve throughput and overall performance. And outstanding performance in your servers enhances your options in allocating your data center resources.

But data center speed is just the beginning of the power management story. The real benefit is how AMD can help you increase performance and decrease power.
