Server CPUs (AMD)

AMD offers customers a multi-pronged approach with the latest AMD Opteron™ product lineup: the new AMD Opteron 6200 and 4200 Series server processors and the upcoming AMD Opteron 3000 Series platform - all designed to power the cloud with improved performance, scalability and efficiency.

For applications that require the highest scalability

AMD now offers the world’s first and only 16-core x86 processor—the AMD Opteron 6200 Series—featuring more cores and up to 35% greater performance than AMD’s previous generation products. The innovative modular architecture helps pack in more cores, making it the natural choice for heavy-threaded applications that demand outstanding performance and scalability. The AMD Opteron 6200 Series processors deliver enhanced throughput for scalable computing environments like cloud clusters, virtualization, high-performance computing (HPC) and database applications.

For applications that demand the lowest possible power

The AMD Opteron 4200 Series processor was developed from the ground up to handle demanding server workloads at the lowest possible energy draw. This new Opteron Series processor delivers unparalleled efficiency per core that shatters the 5W/core mark, a new record for an enterprise-class x86 processor. The AMD Opteron 4200 Series also boasts a 33% increase in core count to pack in plenty of processing performance for power-conscious cloud deployments, as well as non-virtualized infrastructure, email and collaboration servers. AMD is proud to offer the new AMD Opteron™ 4200 Series processor as the world’s lowest power-per-core server processor built to deliver unparalleled efficiency for complex, technical workloads. 

For applications that need a combination of low power and low cost 

The upcoming AMD Opteron 3000 Series platform is perfect for Web hosters and hyperscale cloud clusters. The AM3+ socket enables very affordable and energy-efficient platforms e.g. for single-socket hosting.
