The information on the chips, AMD Opteron 6000

The network has information about new processors, AMD. It is known that they are designed for servers and will be released later this year.

New items will belong to the generation of Opteron 6000, and their production will be used by architecture Bulldozer.

The published information was eight-Opteron 6212, Opteron 6238, as well as two Opteron 6274 and Opteron 6282 SE.

Will be the most powerful Opteron 6274 and Opteron 6282 SE. Their sixteen cores will be able to operate at a frequency of 2.2GHz and 2.5GHz respectively. Second-level cache will be 8MB (third - 16 MB). In a special mode Turbo Core frequency can reach an impressive 2.8 GHz per core Opteron in 6274, and 3.1 GHz Opteron 6282 SE. If you use one or two cores, these amount to 3.2 GHz frequency and 3.5 GHz respectively.

In 6238 Opteron cache 6MB of second and third level 12 MB, and the base frequency - 2.5 GHz (Turbo Core 3.1GGts in kernel mode, 1.2 3.3 GHz). We Opteron 6212 this figure is 4 MB and 8 MB second third base 2.8 GHz (in the mode to Turbo Core 3.7 GHz).

AMD Bulldozer new improvements by 2014

AMD has set itself the goal of improving by 50% by 2014 Bulldozer architecture. The first reviews on the new CPUs have shown a picture not very rosy, the processors do not have exciting performance on the special architecture that uses a variety of shared resources between the core of each module. In addition, the power dissipation was higher than other Intel processors of the counterparty.

To counter this negative publicity and try to restore confidence in the FX brand, the company has now published a roadmap that talks about the improvements planned for the architecture until 2014, an ambitious timetable, given how much and how things can change suddenly in world of technology.

Looking at the graph shows that the various architectures Piledriver, and Bulldozer Steamroller, should improve their properties up to 30-50% by 2014 (subject to change without notice, of course).
