The new AMD Opteron™ 6200 and 4200 Series server processors are designed to deliver improved performance, scalability and efficiency. These platforms are ideal for when you need the highest scalability and the lowest possible power draw at a superior value.
AMD Opteron™ 6200 Series Processor
The world's first 16-core x86 server processor, delivering a rich mix of performance, scalability and efficiency for today's highly threaded computing environments.
- 8, 12, and 16 cores available
- 2/4 socket; 4 memory channels
- Expected to deliver up to 35%+1 higher performance, up to 46%2 lower processor power in idle
- Easily integrated into existing AMD Opteron 6000 Series platforms
AMD Opteron™ 4200 Series Processor
The world’s lowest power-per-core x86 server processor3 just got more power efficient.
- 6 and 8 cores available
- 1/2 socket; 2 memory channels
- Less than 5 watts per core3
- Easily integrated into existing AMD Opteron 4000 Series platform

2Based on testing in AMD Performance Labs as of August, 2011, an AMD Opteron™ processor model 6174 (12-core 2.2GHz) consumes 11.7W in the active idle C1E power state while an AMD Opteron™ processor model 6276 (16-core 2.3GHz) consumes only 6.4W in the active idle C1E power state with new C6 power gating employed. System configuration: "Drachma" reference design kit, 32GB (8 x 4GB DDR3-1333) memory, 500GB SATA disk drive, Microsoft® Windows Server® 2008 x64 Enterprise Edition R2. SVR-60
3As of November 14, 2011, AMD Opteron™ processor Models 4200 EE have the lowest known power per core of any x86 server processor, at 35W TDP (35W/8 = 4.375W/core). Intel's lowest power per core server processor, L5630, is 40W TDP (40W/4 = 10W/core).
