Performance-Per-Watt: Getting More Out of Less.
For the past three years, AMD has been at the forefront of performance-per-watt. The AMD Opteron™ processor helps power a cooler data center by offering increased server performance without replacing existing cooling and energy envelopes. We've also been leading the way in standardizing a measurement of this advantage-the amount of energy consumed per unit of computational power. We call it performance-per-watt.
Performance-per-watt is a more meaningful way of thinking about power usage in your data center. And the AMD Opteron processor is the industry leader in delivering the performance-per-watt advantage. In fact, power management technologies built into the AMD Opteron processor like AMD PowerNow!™ help reduce the amount of power needed to perform the same tasks. The AMD Opteron Processor delivers almost a 100 percent power consumption advantage over competitive alternatives.
