AMD Offers New Levels of Efficiency with 12- and 16-Core Additions to the AMD Opteron 6300 Series

AMD Opte­ron 6338P and 6370P pro­ces­sors deli­ver opti­mi­zed per­for­mance per-watt per-dol­lar* for AMD Open 3.0 Open Com­pu­te Platforms



SUNNYVALE, Calif.  —1/22/2014 

AMD (NYSE: AMD) today announ­ced the imme­dia­te avai­la­bi­li­ty of its new 12- and 16-core AMD Opte­ron™ 6300 Series ser­ver pro­ces­sors, code named “War­saw.” Desi­gned for enter­pri­se workloads, the new AMD Opte­ron 6300 Series pro­ces­sors fea­ture the “Piledri­ver” core and are ful­ly socket and soft­ware com­pa­ti­ble with the exis­ting AMD Opte­ron 6300 Series. The power effi­ci­en­cy and cost effec­ti­ve­ness of the new pro­ducts are ide­al for the AMD Open 3.0 Open Com­pu­te Plat­form – the industry’s most cost effec­ti­ve Open Com­pu­te platform.

Dri­ven by cus­to­mers’ requests, the new AMD Opte­ron™ 6338P (12 core) and 6370P (16 core) pro­ces­sors are opti­mi­zed to hand­le the hea­vi­ly vir­tua­li­zed workloads found in enter­pri­se envi­ron­ments, inclu­ding the more com­plex com­pu­te needs of data ana­ly­sis, xSQL and tra­di­tio­nal data­ba­ses, at opti­mal per­for­mance per-watt, per-dollar.

With the con­tin­ued move to vir­tua­li­zed envi­ron­ments for more effi­ci­ent ser­ver uti­liza­ti­on, more and more workloads are limi­t­ed by memo­ry capa­ci­ty and I/O band­width,” said Suresh Gopa­l­a­krish­n­an, cor­po­ra­te vice pre­si­dent and gene­ral mana­ger, Ser­ver Busi­ness Unit, AMD. “The Opte­ron 6338P and 6370P pro­ces­sors are ser­ver CPUs opti­mi­zed to deli­ver impro­ved per­for­mance per-watt for vir­tua­li­zed pri­va­te cloud deploy­ments with less power and at lower cost points.”
