AMD Roadmap Shows 6-core and 12-core Opteron Processors


In a briefing today AMD disclosed a conservative road map for 45nm server processors using six and twelve cores that will gradually start to ship starting from Q1 2009. The new processors will be manufactured in a 45 nm process that will be introduced with the Shanghai quad-core later this year. Shanghai will deliver performance boost of about 20% over Barcelona thanks to the new process, the doubled overall cache size and the 800MHz DDR2 memory controller. In the second half of 2009, AMD intends to ship a single-die 6-core Socket F (1207) processor code-named "Istanbul". Offered for two- and four-socket systems, the chip will likely utilize AMD's HyperTransport 3.0 technology and increased shared L3 cache from 2MB to 6MB. In two years time from now AMD is promissing a completely new platform. Called the "Maranello" platform, it will bring new 6-core "Sao Paulo" CPUs with 6MB of L3 cache, as well as the dual-die 12-core "Magny Cours" processor with 12MB L3 cache. Both processors will be built in 45nm, with DDR3 memory support and HyperTransport version 3.0 interconnect. AMD will couple these CPUs with motherboards that use its own RD890S and RD870S northbridges as well as the SB700S southbridge.

Tenho andado meio afastado do hardware, não sei como é o roadmap da intel, mas parece-me bem este da AMD.

Offtopic:

É impressão minha ou os gajos andam a ir buscar os nomes dos cores a F1 e Ferrari?? Maranello e Magny Cours...lol
Deve ser do patrocinio a Ferrari na F1..lol

Fim do Offtopic:
 
São nomes de Cidades, como tem sido habitual.

Ai está uma cidade brasileira :D

Para quando um core "Lisbon":msmiley1:
 
Duvido que escolham os nomes por "ordem de grandesa".

basta uma simples base de dados com milhares de cidades e uma função randon(string) e voilá.
 
Quad-Core AMD Opteron Processor Family Expands with Five New Low-Power Options


AMD today introduced the industry’s 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 AMD’s advanced power management and virtualization innovations offer a compelling platform for power-conscious datacenter managers who are changing the way they think about performance.”

Quad-Core AMD Opteron HE processors are available in both the 2300 and 8300 Series for two-, four- and eight-way rack servers and blades. The new processors have set new performance records among comparable x86 energy-efficient processors, such as top scores for SPECfp_rate2006 in both two- and four-processor configurations, offering businesses of all sizes the exceptional scalability and efficiency benefits of AMD’s unrivaled Direct Connect Architecture.

New Opteron Quad-Core Processors:
  • Opteron 2344 HE - 1.7GHz, 1000MHz HT, 2MB L2 (4x512KB), 2MB L3
  • Opteron 2346 HE - 1.8GHz, 1000MHz HT, 2MB L2 (4x512KB), 2MB L3
  • Opteron 8346 HE - 1.8GHz, 1000MHz HT, 2MB L2 (4x512KB), 2MB L3
  • Opteron 2347 HE - 1.9GHz, 1000MHz HT, 2MB L2 (4x512KB), 2MB L3
  • Opteron 8347 HE - 1.9GHz, 1000MHz HT, 2MB L2 (4x512KB), 2MB L3
