GVS9000
AMD Comparison of Single-Core Options with Dual-Core Opteron Processor
Following
information designed to help in understanding your the best configuration
of your GVS9000 with AMD Opteron Processor configuration.
AMD
Opteron Processors are identified by a three digit model number, XYY, where:
X—indicates
the maximum salability of the processor. In other words:
100 Series = 1-way servers and workstations
200 Series = Up to 2-way servers and workstations
800 Series = Up to 8-way servers and workstations
YY—indicates
relative performance within the series. In other words, an AMD Opteron
Processor Model 244 is higher performing than an AMD Opteron Processor
Model 242, etc.
Special
note on dual-core processors: Model numbers for the Dual-Core AMD
Opteron processors will begin with 165, 265 and 865 and advance in increments
of 5.
Low-power
AMD Opteron Processors are identified by a two character modifier, where:
HE—indicates
a 55W processor within the series.
EE—indicates
a 30W processor within the series.
The
chart below further explains the differences between AMD Opteron Processor
series and model numbers.
