The Six-Core AMD OpteronTM Processor for Embedded Enterprise Designs LEVERAGE YOUR PLATFORM INVESTMENT WITH A SEAMLESS UPGRADE TO A SIX-CORE AMD OPTERON PROCESSOR! The Six-Core AMD OpteronTM Processor provides up to 30% more performance in the same socket 1207 footprint than previous generation quad-core AMD Opteron processors. This upgrade enables a performance improvement for edge-of-enterprise markets including storage and telecommunication as well as more traditional embedded markets including storage and telecommunication as well as more traditional embedded markets such as security and medical imaging, military systems, and single-board computing. AMD64 technology with Direct Connect Architecture helps provide a balanced foundation for embedded systems. Based on the industry-standard x86 platform, AMD64 delivers the right match of processing power, memory performance, I/O throughput, and scalability. Add the vision of 32and 64-bit application support with native multi-core computing in a consistent thermal envelope and many embedded designers are finding their AMD Opteron processor-based next-generation systems deliver superior application performance. WHAT CAN A LEADING PROCESSOR PLATFORM OFFER? AMD Opteron processors with Direct Connect Architecture can help improve overall system performance and efficiency by helping eliminate traditional bottlenecks inherent in architectures where traditional front-side buses restrict and interrupt the flow of data. With AMD Opteron processors, there are no front-side buses. Instead, the processors, memory, and I/O are directly connected to the CPU. Further, the integrated memory controller helps reduce memory latency while HyperTransportTM technology delivers a very high I/O bandwidth. The Six-Core AMD Opteron Processor implements a HyperTransportTM technology HT Assist that optimizes communication between processors to improve multi-processor systems. Data speeds through the system without encountering the traditional frontside bus bottleneck of competing x86 platforms. In addition to the architectural benefits inherent in Direct Connect Architecture, The AMD Opteron processor offers the following unique advantages for high-end embedded systems: >H yperTransportTM technology provides up to 17.6GB/s per link in HT 3.0 generation, and is compatible with HT 1.0 generation implementation >H yperTransportTM technology HT Assist optimizes communication between processors to improve multi- processor systems >O n-die integrated DDR2 memory controller offers available memory bandwidth up to 12.8GB/s (with DDR2-800) per processor >H ardware assisted AMD VirtualizationTM technology in AMD Opteron processors with DDR2 helps streamline the efficiency of multiple servers and provides virtual machine memory isolation for improved security > Socket F (1207) provides system upgrade option from dual-core to quad-core to six-core in the same physical footprint Dual Dynamic Power Management (DDPM) > Allows for independent voltage control between the CPU cores and memory controller >O ptimizes memory bandwidth to help improve system performance > Helps reduce system power consumption and heat generation AMD CoolCoreTM Technology >R educes processor energy consumption by turning off unused parts of the processor > Helps reduce power and cooling costs by lowering the energy consumption of the platform design Reliable, scalable It's a fact that reliability is key in selecting embedded system components. AMD Opteron processors are NEBS-friendly - either with higher Tcase or P-State control - supporting telecommunications industry requirements for reliability. AMD64 technology provides features like Error Correcting Code (ECC) and JTAG interfaces for effective debug during system development. Additionally, Direct Connect Architecture requires fewer chips on the motherboard, further enhancing a system's overall reliability. The AMD Opteron processor provides unique scalability options with glueless multi-processing from one socket (2, 4 or 6 core) to 8 socket systems. This, combined with AMD64's reliability, helps deliver an embedded design that can provide customers a longrange plan for the life cycle of their systems.
