AMD Launches Opteron 4300 and 3300 Series Processors
AMD today unveiled nine new mid-range and entry-level AMD Opteron 4300 Series and 3300 Series server processors increasing performance per watt versus the previous generation to maximize compute capabilities in power-constrained environments1, while delivering outstanding value to cloud providers and web hosts. The AMD Opteron 3300 Series processors provide enterprise-class features in a low power envelope at a desktop processor price, making it ideal for web hosts and small- and medium-sized businesses.
The launch of the AMD Opteron 4300 and 3300 series brings nine new CPU models to the market. AMD is claiming up to a 15% performance boost over the previous generation (based on SPECint benchmark results) and an impressive 24 percent increase when it comes to performance per watt. Not a bad little performance boost! Server processors are getting much more energy efficient. The AMD Opteron 3320 E has a TDP of just 25 watts, which isn’t bad for a 1.9GHz quad-core processor!
