AMD Opteron™ 4200 Series Processor Quick Reference Guide The world’s lowest power x86 cloud processor1 just got more efficient AMD Opteron™ 4200 Series Processor KEY FEATURES >>New Core Architecture — drives more core density and greater throughput >>AMD Turbo CORE Technology — allows processors to independently boost their clock speeds, scaling frequency up 300MHz-1.2GHz automatically to respond to the need for more application performance2 >>C6 Power State — reduces processor power consumption at active idle by up to 39%3 >>AMD Virtualization™ (AMD-V™) Technology 2.0 — heightens virtualization efficiency with new enhancements to the AMD-V™ suite of virtualization to optimize data center rack space and help minimize management tasks END USER BENEFITS Designed for enterprise workloads while still delivering a performance punch >>A 33% increase in core count packs in plenty of processing performance into a smaller, more efficient, 8-core design while maintaining very aggressive power/thermal ranges4,5 >>Power per core that shatters the 5W/core mark, a new record for an enterprise-class x86 processor1 >>New power management capabilities allow for larger parts of the processor to be almost completely powered off when not being used, dramatically reducing idle core power consumption by up to 39% over the previous generation of processors and allowing active cores to run at a higher frequency3 >>AMD Turbo CORE technology takes advantage of additional power headroom to digitally boost all cores simultaneously by up to 300MHz and can boost up to 1.2GHz when only half of the cores are active2, allowing applications to finish tasks quickly and return to lower power states >>Straight-through computing helps ensure that there are not bottlenecks or compromises as up to eight threads get their own dedicated core when workload demands increase with maximum memory channel and I/O speed (across all SKUs/ price points) helping to ensure that there are no bottlenecks or feature compromises unlike Intel, who purposely throttles down capabilities Delivering new levels of enterprise scalability for demanding cloud applications and SMB/Infrastructure applications >>Scale your cloud workload with up to 8 cores in a low power processor 1 As of March 16, 2012 AMD Opteron™ processor Models 4200 EE have the lowest known power per core of any x86 server processor, at 35W TDP (35W/8 = 4.375W/core). Intel’s lowest power per core server processor, Intel Xeon E5-2650L, is 70W TDP (70W/8 = 8.75W/core). See www. intc.com/pricelist.cfm as of 3/16/12. Previous record held by AMD Opteron processor Models 4100 EE at 35W TDP / 6 cores = 5.83 W/core. SVR-58 2AMD Opteron 4200 Series processors experience all core boost of up to 300 MHz (P2 base to P1 boost state) and up to 1.2 GHz max turbo boost (half or fewer cores boost from P2 to P0 boost state). SVR-63 3Based on testing in AMD Performance Labs as of March 2012, an AMD Opteron™ processor model 4174 (6-core 2.3GHz) consumes 6.47W in the active idle C1E power state while an AMD Opteron™ processor model 4284 (8-core 3.0GHz) consumes only 3.977W in the active idle C1E power state with new C6 power gating employed.
