HP 490606-L21 Processor Computer Component

Providing a balanced approach to embedded system design

The AMD Opteron™ processor provides a breakthrough in high-performance, low power processing for edge-of-enterprise markets including storage and telecommunications, as well as more traditional embedded markets such as security and medical imaging, military systems, and single-board computing. AMD64 technology with Direct Connect Architecture helps provide a balanced foundation for embedded systems. Based on the industry-standard x86 platform, AMD64 delivers the right match of processing power, memory performance, I/O throughput, and scalability. Add the vision of 32- and 64-bit application support with native multi-core computing in a consistent thermal envelope and many embedded designers are finding their next-generation systems deliver record-breaking application performance.

- HyperTransport technology provides up to 24.0GB/s peak bandwidth per processor.
- On-die integrated DDR2 memory controller offers available memory bandwidth up to 10.7GB/s (with DDR2-667) per processor.
- Hardware assisted AMD Virtualization™ technology in AMD Opteron processors with DDR2 helps streamline the efficiency of multiple servers and provides virtual machine memory isolation for improved security.
- Upgrade to quad-core AMD Opteron processors.
