Last changes in the AMD official Price- list on the site of company was connected with the announcement of the server Opteron processors Socket F . after a while AMD produced the restructuring of online Price- turned over the pages, and to us the occurred changes was interesting.
In particular, the processors families are arranged vertically, one under another. It is remarkable, that for the table processors in the Price- list are now provided the detailed commentaries, which describe their technical characteristics. it is Possible to learn from these commentaries, witch processor support 64- bit expansions, and what energy class consumption it was related, and what is the working frequency , which cache volume , frequency of HyperTransport bus, and in what design concepts is this processor.
and it was revealed very curious information "Dedicated 1MB L2 cache" (dedicated ). In the case with the dual core processors Athlon 64 x2 it means that the processor has the volume of 1 mb cache ., in this case to each core are allocated half, i.e., 512 KB. For processor Athlon 64 Fx-62 the cache volume is described by formula "Dedicated 2MB L2 cache", which in the transfer into the usual language indicates "2 X of 1 mb.". Very adroit marketing trick allowed AMD processors to better compet with processors Intel Core 2 duo, which have the divided cache between processor. ., in this case entire cache volume is accessible to each of two core.
The description of the Sempron processors characteristics also excist, that they support 64- bit expansions, but the bus frequency HyperTransport is equal to 1600 MHz independently of the design concept.
The price of some processors, especially typical models Opteron 1xx and Opteron 1xxx, are hidden under the sign "*". in this case this mean that the prices will depond on the separate demand. Related Products :
