Bring High Performance to the Data Center with AMD

Ground-Breaking Architecture

AMD Opteron™ processor-based servers are made to handle real world workloads with superior value and energy efficiency at every price point. Unlike competitive products focused on raw performance, AMD technology-based servers deliver one platform to support the top-line demands of your organization with a total cost advantage you can take right to the bottom line.

Faster Speeds, Better Graphics

AMD Opteron™ processors with Direct Connect Architecture deliver outstanding performance within a consistent footprint and thermal envelope. ATI FirePro™ graphic accelerators from AMD empower professionals in financial, engineering, digital content creation, and scientific fields through application performance leadership, with the assurance of reliability and innovation.

AMD Opteron™ 6200 Series Processor

More Cores, More Speed, More Value

The new AMD Opteron™ 6200 series processor delivers the world’s highest core density, letting users host more virtual machines per server, handle more database users, and solve more complex High Performance Computing (HPC) applications with fewer nodes and less power—offering a better option for the hyper-efficient, virtualized, cloud-ready world.

• Lowest cost per Virtual Machine*: Customers can deploy fewer physical servers as needs increase
• Greater performance† than the most popular processors at almost the same price
• Up to 160% more cores‡ to handle more virtual machines per platform and minimize data center space
• No-compromise feature set offers a high memory and I/O throughput for growing workloads
• Supports virtualization technology including:
  • Microsoft Hyper-V
  • VMware vSphere
  • VMware View
  • Microsoft Remote FX
• Addresses the requirements to run an optimized and budget‑friendly data center:
  • Core density
  • Large L3 cache
  • Cost efficiency
  • High memory addressability

*Lowest cost per VM assumes 1 core per virtual machine: AMD Opteron™ processor Model 6238, 12 cores, $455 1kU price, $32/VM, and Intel® Xeon® E5603, 4 cores, $188 list price, $47/VM.
