AMD Dual-Core Opteron 880

Professional server with two processor cores and native support for 64-bit instructions, designed for the most demanding applications in clusters with up to eight processors. It is designed for extremely powerful computers with an emphasis on multi-threaded processing and running multiple applications simultaneously. It is an ideal way to increase performance without having to constantly increase the operating frequency and the complexity and above the cost of production - two independent processors integrated into a single core Socket Socket 940, each equipped with its own cache memory of 1 megabyte Compared with HyperThreading technology used in Intel processors is used here purely hardware solution, each core can work independently on their own role and this is a direct equivalent of a dual-processor system. You easily can eg run on one core database engine and the second web server without any influence or slowing consuming process in the background and everything transparently without any user intervention.

The processor is fully 64-bit. Flexible architecture allows the hardware to handle the older 32-bit or 64-bit advanced programs at full speed. Programs consequences using optimized 64b instructions so they can achieve nearly twice the speed. In addition, they are supported and the three most widely used instruction set extension 3DNow! Professional, SSE and SSE2.

The maximum memory bandwidth guarantees an integrated memory controller with 128-bit data width and memory support DDR 400 physically can address up to 1 TB incredible memory. This, together with the use of bi-directional system bus HyperTransport (HT) with high throughput, running at 1 GHz, guaranteeing maximum system performance.

The processor is manufactured using advanced technology 90 nm using SIO - Silicon on Insulator (location directly on silicon dielectric). This coupled with innovative architecture allowed us to reduce power consumption and heat emission of both cores at the level of one-core processor manufactured 130 nm technological process.

Core Architecture allows setting up a cluster of 8 of these processors to create a virtually 16-processor server.
