AMD OS6172WKTCEGOWOF Opteron 6172 Magny-Cours Twelve-Core 2.1 Ghz 12MB L3 Cache Socket G34 115W Retail Server Processor

 Twelve-Core

 The AMD Opteron 6172 integrates of up to 8 cores within the same package, and each core having its own L1 and L2 caches, and a shared 12MB L3 cache, offering improved performance and performance/watt (compared to prior generations) for multithreaded environments like virtualization, database, and web serving.

 Advanced Power Management

 The AMD Opteron 6168 boasts AMD CoolCore technology, AMD PowerNow! technology, Enhanced C1 state, AMD CoolSpeed technology, APML (in APML enabled platforms) for unprecedented power efficiency.

 Multiple Memory Support The AMD Opteron 6168 supports Quad-Channel LV & U/RDDR 3, ECC, and supports for on-line spare memory, up to 3 DIMMs/channel and 12 DIMMs per CPU, which helps to reduce overall power consumption and improve overall system performance.

AMD64 with Direct Connect Architecture 2.0

AMD64 technology allows the Opteron 6168 processor to run 32-bit applications at full speed while enabling a new generation of powerful 64-bit software applications. Moreover, the Opteron 6168 is built on AMD’s revolutionary Direct Connect Architecture, where processors are directly connected to one another. An I/O and memory subsystem are also directly connected to each processor, helping improve overall system performance and efficiency.

 HyperTransport 3.0 Technology with HT Assist

HyperTransport Technology (HT or HTT) is a high-speed, low latency, point-to-point link designed to increase communication speeds between integrated circuits in computers, servers, embedded systems, and networking and telecommunications equipment. HT 3.0 technology offers the processor up to a maximum 6.4GT/s interconnect rate. HT Assist helps to increase coherent memory bandwidth and reduce latency in multi-node systems by reducing cache probe traffic between cores, resulting in faster queries that can increase performance for cache sensitive applications such as database, virtualization, and compute intensive applications.

 AMD Virtualization

 (AMD-V) 2.0 Virtualization allows multiple operating systems, applications, or user sessions to run simultaneously on a single computing system. AMD Virtualization (AMD-V) is a set of unique on-chip features that help AMD processor-based servers and clients run multiple operating systems and applications on a single machine by improving the efficiency of virtualization software.
