Quad-Core AMD Opteron Processor Family Expands with New Low-Power Options

Five New Quad-Core AMD Opteron HE Processors Offering Superior Performance-Per-Watt with Ultimate Energy Efficiency

SUNNYVALE, Calif. (Business Wire EON/PRWEB ) May 11, 2008 -- AMD (NYSE:AMD) today introduced the industrys first energy-efficient x86 server processors with four processing cores and an integrated memory controller all in a low 55-watt ACP thermal envelope. Blade and rack systems based on five new low-power Quad-Core AMD Opteron HE (Highly Efficient) processors are now widely available from global OEMs and solution providers.

Our new Quad-Core AMD Opteron HE processors were designed to help datacenter managers who see power consumption and virtualization as the keys to solving their overall performance equation, said Randy Allen, corporate vice president and general manager, Server and Workstation Division, AMD. These new processors which feature AMDs advanced power management and virtualization innovations offer a compelling platform for power-conscious datacenter managers who are changing the way they think about performance.
