AMD has launched the 45nm Quad-Core AMD Opteron EE processor with AMDs lowest x86 quad-core server power band.
The new 40W ACP processor is designed for very dense data center environments such as those built for cloud computing, web serving, or other highly dense environments. It provides a full suite of virtualisation and power management capabilities.
Patrick Patla, vice president and general manager, Server Workstation Business, AMD said, "Adding the 40 watt EE power band to the Quad-Core AMD Opteron line-up helps our customers achieve maximum value for their unique data center needs across the board."
Patla added, "The EE processor is ideal for cloud computing environments, which demand both extreme energy efficiency and a balanced system that can handle high transactional demands."
The Quad-Core AMD Opteron EE processor includes significant power efficiency improvements over the Quad-Core AMD Opteron HE processor within the same platform with a 13 percent reduction in platform-level power consumption1 and up to a 14 percent reduction in processor power at idle2. The new EE processor delivers up to 62 percent improved performance-per-watt over the previous generation3.
