AMD OSA270CBBOX Opteron Dual Core Model 270
Opteron Dual Core Server Model 270 64-bit Dual-Core technology. Benefits include: Simultaneous 32- and 64-bit computing, Support of up to three (3) coherent HyperTransport Technology links, 256 Terabytes of memory address space, 90nm SOI (Silicon on Insulator) process technology. (PIB) MODEL: AMDOSA270CBBOX VENDOR: A M D (Advanced Micro Devices)
FEATURES: Opteron Dual Core Server Processor 270
64-bit, 2.0 GHz Dual Core Server Processor.
Each core has separate L1/L2 cache hierarchies, as well as the
integrated memory controller, HyperTransport technology, AMD
PowerNow! technology, or AMD's Cool'n'Quiet technology.
Dual-Core AMD Opteron processors can be inserted into existing 940-
pin sockets that support 90nm products.
AMD64 processors were designed from the start to add a second core.
Port already existed on crossbar/SRI.
One die with 2 CPU cores, each core has its own 1MB L2 cache.
A BIOS update is all that is necessary to get a compatible system up
and running with dual-core processors.
The 2 CPU cores leverage the same memory and HyperTransport
technology resources available in single-core processors.
X86-64 Technology
The AMD x86-64 architecture is an AMD innovation that extends x86, the
industry's most widely supported instruction set, and is designed to
enable 64-bit computing while remaining compatible with the existing x86
software infrastructure and industry experience.
AMD's 64-bit strategy allows the latest in processor innovation to work
smoothly with the existing installed base of 32-bit applications and
operating systems, while establishing an installed base of systems that
are 64-bit capable.
AMD X86-64 Technology enables the industry to advance software
development on all fronts, with x86 compatibility, while providing the
capability of delivering 64-bit technology benefits.
AMD HyperTransport Technology
HyperTransport technology is a high-speed, low latency, point-to-point
link designed to increase the communication speed between integrated
circuits in computers, servers, embedded systems, and networking and
telecommunications equipment up to 48 times faster than some existing
technologies.
HyperTransport technology helps reduce the number of buses in a system,
which can reduce system bottlenecks and enable today's faster
microprocessors to use system memory more efficiently in high-end
multiprocessor systems.
HyperTransport technology is designed to:
- Provide significantly more bandwidth than current technologies.
- Use low-latency responses and low pin counts
- Maintain compatibility with legacy PC buses while being extensible to
new SNA (Systems Network Architecture) buses.
- Appear transparent to operating systems and offer little impact on
