Performs when the workload gets tough
The AMD Opteron™ 6000 Series platform is the server platform you can count on as real-world workloads become increasingly complex and demanding. Based on the next-generation AMD Direct Connect Architecture 2.0 with up to 48 total cores in a 4P configuration, this platform can in many cases more than double the memory bandwidth1, and provides nearly 2x the I/O bandwidth of previous generation 2P and 4P servers2, helping your business tackle complex jobs with greater throughput, exceptional value and readiness to scale.

Performance for demanding workloads
Match tough workloads with the right fit server platform, and realize superior performance in memory and compute intensive workloads.

Consistent platform that scales
Take control now with Direct Connect 2.0 architecture consistency, including power, virtualization and memory innovations, and socket compatibility with planned AMD Opteron™ 6200 Series processor¹.

Business value without compromise
Gain advantages normally reserved for high-end systems, with exceptional value, low total cost of ownership, and generational consistency.

• Quad Channel Memory offers double the memory capacity and memory bandwidth of previous generations of AMD OpteronTM processors².
  
  
• R/U-DDR3 Memory up to 1333 enables improved overall system performance compared to earlier memory technologies.
  
  
• HyperTransport™ Technology Assist [HT Assist] helps increases HyperTransport™ technology efficiency by reducing probe traffic and resolving probe issues.
  
  
• HyperTransport™ 3.0 Technology (HT3) with 4th HT Link and increased speed, up to 6.4GT/s provides superior system bandwidth between CPU’s and I/O to help improve system balance and scalability.
  
  
• Increased Cache and Core Count of 8 cores within the same package offers improved performance and performance/watt compared to prior generations for multi-threaded environments such as virtualization, database and web serving.

NEW AMD-P 2.0 POWER SAVINGS FEATURES:

• APML (Advanced Platform Management Link)³ provides an interface for processor and Systems Management monitoring and controlling of system resources such as platform power consumption via p-state limits and CPU thermals to closely monitor power and cooling.
  
  
• AMD CoolSpeed Technology reduces p-states when a temperature limit is reached to allow a server to operate if the processor’s thermal environment exceeds safe operational limits.
  
  
• C1E provides a sleep state that can equate to significant power savings in the datacenter depending on system configuration.
  
  
• LV-DDR3 memory support helps to reduce overall system power consumption.

AMD-V™ 2.0 supports I/O level virtualization to provide direct control of device by a VM4 and improve I/O performance within a virtual machine.
