AMD OpteronTM Processor Update

The Six-Core „Istanbul“Roberto Dognini, October 2009

Six-Core AMD Opteron™ Processor (“Istanbul”)

*Based on internal testing at AMD performance labs as of 3/27/09.

Industry’s only Six-Core processor with Direct Connect Architecture for 2P, 4P, 8P x86 Servers

Up to a 30% performance increase over Quad-Core AMD Opteron™ processor codenamed

Balanced scalability = outstanding price/performance

and performance-per-watt

Targets: CAE, Weather, O&G, Financial Services & Top500

(HPL)

Capacity platform = large memory footprint, reduced node count and

lots of floating-point throughput

Targets: EDA, Life Sciences & Top500 (HPL)

Scalable performance = outstanding compute density and

performance-per-watt

Targets: EDA, Life Sciences, Financial Services & Top500
