AMD had launched some new server processors with performance-per-watt as their key feature.
They are quad-core and come with the suffix HE to denote Highly Efficient. They are available in both the 2300 and 8300 Series for two, four and eight-way rack servers and blades.
“Our new Quad-Core AMD Opteron HE processors were designed to help datacenter managers who see power consumption and virtualization as the keys to solving their overall performance equation,” said Randy Allen, corporate VP and GM, server and workstation division at AMD.
“These new processors which feature AMD’s advanced power management and virtualization innovations offer a compelling platform for power-conscious datacenter managers who are changing the way they think about performance.”
