Associates revealed that the company AMD already demonstrated the models of processors generation K8L from class opteron 8xxx, and therefore they decided to rapidly publish the preliminary characteristics of similar processors series, which will appear nearer to the middle of 2007.
Thus, the today news is exclusive about servers processors from generation K8L, since they will appear first on the market . However, processors of series opteron 1xxx (Budapest) will obtain the desktop relatives on core agena FX (Athlon 64 FX) and Agena (Athlon 64 X4), but they will be released only in the third quarter of 2007.
Let us examine the fundamental characteristics of processors generation K8L with four core:
- Opteron 8xxx/2xxx SE - > frequency 2.4-2.5 GHz, 4 X of KB cache in the second level, 2 mb of cache in the third level, TDP=120 W, socket F, the frequency of system bus hyperTransport is equal to 2000 MHz, support memory type DDR 2-667 (ECC);
- Opteron 8xxx/2xxx - > frequency 2.1-2.3 GHz, 4 X 512 KB cache in the second level, 2 mb of the cache in the third level, TDP=95 W, socket F, the frequency of system bus hyperTransport is equal to 2000 MHz, support memory type DDR 2-667 (ECC);
- Opteron 8xxx/2xxx HE - > frequency 1.9-2.0 GHz, 4 X 512 KB cache in the second level, 2 mb. of cache in the third level, TDP=68 W, socket F, the frequency of system bus hyperTransport is equal to2000 MHz, support memory type DDR 2-667 (ECC);
- Opteron 1xxx SE - > frequency 2.4-2.5 GHz, 4 X 512 KB cache in the second level, 2 mb of the cache in the third level, TDP=120 W, socket AM2+, the frequency of system bus hyperTransport 3.0 equal to 5200 MHz, support the nonbuffered memory of type DDR 2-800;
- Opteron 1xxx - > frequency 2.1-2.3 GHz, 4 X 512 KB cache in the second level, 2 mb of cache in the third level, TDP=95 W, socket AM2+, frequency of system bus hyperTransport 3.0 equal to 5200 MHz, support nonbuffered memory of type DDR 2-800.
Judging by everything, AMD decided not to give the servers processors barcelona the support of system bus hyperTransport 3.0 in the favor of the best compatability with the existing infrastructure socket F. for the processors budapest with desktop socket AM2+ was made as an exception - they will already get the support of system bus hyperTransport 3.0, although they will for sure preserve reverse compatability with socket AM2.
Let us recall that all published data are preliminary characteristics, and therefore it can be changed on the measure of approximations with the anoncement moment for the series processors families indicated. Related Products :
