New Opteron CPUs Due Next Week
Advanced Micro Devices will update its lineup of Opteron microprocessors for servers and workstations next week, sources inside the channel said. The improvements include core-clock increase to 2.20GHz as well as support for PC3200 memory by AMD Opteron processors, at least, by some platforms.
The new Opteron processors are expected to be available in models 148, 248 and 848 for systems with 1, 2 or 4/8 processors in that order. The chips will increase the speed to 2.20GHz and gain support of PC3200 DDR SDRAM memory with ECC. By now all AMD Opteron processors supported only PC2700 ECC RAM.
It is (also) believed that AMD also plans to shortly unveil its AMD Athlon 64 3400+ processor at 2.20GHz for performance-mainstream PCs as well as bring AMD Athlon 64 FX-53 at stunning 2.40GHz for high-end desktops by holiday season. Last week a server company indicated its intention to ship systems powered by AMD Opteron 250 processors clocked at 2.40GHz early next year.
