AMD processors , codenamed "Kyoto" was presented officially. In a special press release, the company announced a new family of server processors - Opteron "X". At the time this series came in two models - X1150 and X2150. Both are quad-core processor. Cores - Jaguar .
In a press release, the company compares the AMD Opteron X with the 32-nm models Intel Atom S1200 (Centerton). AMD new items in all respects superior to the characteristics and specifications of the relevant Intel decisions : twice as many cores, integrated GPU, four times the amount of memory supported by more than twice higher throughput and more. In general, Opteron "X" - is the best candidate to be installed in servers HP Moonshot, than Intel Centerton.
Thus, the model Opteron "X" X1150 will consume peak 9 W at a frequency of about 1 GHz and 17 W at the maximum frequency 2 GHz. Model Opteron "X" X2150 1.1-GHz frequency consumes 11 watts and 22 watts at maximum frequency of 1.9 GHz. Greater consumption of the model X2150 is due to the fact that in its unit integrated video processor generation Radeon HD 8000 (GCN). In low-power mode, the GPU will drop to 266 MHz, and in performance mode increase up to 600 MHz. Here it is - the first AMD Opteron with an integrated graphics core, containing 128 stream processors. Such a solution will further enhance the direction of GPGPU-payments, and create multimedia-oriented microserver, though outwardly core Opteron "X" X2150 does not look as "Kyoto", but as "Yamato":
If you notice the direction of IP-TV aims to reach a new level. Intel has promised this year to become a virtual cable operator. This is the purpose of putting a lot of companies who are looking to sell video on demand to users of smartphones and tablets. By the way, for this area in a month Intel will introduce processors Xeon E3 1200 v3 on the Haswell architecture with integrated graphics. It will be superior to AMD Opteron "X.
In wholesale lots price of AMD Opteron "X" X2150 is $ 99, model X1150 - $ 64. It is a fully integrated SoC with all controllers, including USB 3.0, SATA 6 Gb / s, HDMI controller and DDR3-1600 memory. HP has already announced its servers with a cartridge-based processors AMD Kyoto. Also, AMD has a home microserver manufacturer - the company SeaMicro.
