AMD has announced some details of its upcoming Dual Core Opteron CPU during the Microprocessor Forum.
The company’s dual-core processor is a 205-million transistor chip, based on a 90-nm process and silicon-on-insulator (SOI) technology. The device is approximately the same die size as a single-core, 130-nm Opteron processor, McGrath said. The 940-socket compatible chip is said to have a 95-Watt power envelope, he said.
AMD plans to integrate two Opteron processor cores on a single die, based on a symmetric multiprocessing programming (SMP) model. Each core consists of 1-MB of L2 cache.
