AMD introduces low-power Opterons
Posted on 19 Feb 2004 at 12:01
AMD has added a new class of low-power Opteron processors to its server range.
Aimed at the blade server market, the new low-power, 64-bit processors are dubbed with the suffix HE (55 watt) or EE (30 watt) after the equivalent full-power Opteron model. The new processors cover the single-, two- and four-way range: the 146 HE and 140 EE, the 246 HE and 240 EE, and the 846 HE and 840 EE.
'Any enterprise concerned about power usage in their data centres now has a low-power option that also offers industry-leading per watt performance, reliable security and the assurance of investment protection,' said Marty Seyer, general manager of AMD's Microprocessor Business Unit.
'AMD leads the industry with its AMD64 architecture, and in response to customer demand, we're pleased to add a broader set of power options,' he added.
The 846 HE and 840 EE are priced at $1,514, the 246 HE and 240 EE at $851 and the 146 HE and 140 EE at $733. All prices are based on 1,000-unit direct orders.
Note that the processors are not expected to ship for another month.
