What are some of the enhancements that are targeted at boosting performance in Quad-Core AMD Opteron processors?
Quad-Core AMD Opteron processors feature these enhancements to increase performance: • AMD Memory Optimizer Technology increases memory throughput by up to 50% compared to previous generations of the AMD Opteron processor. • AMD Wide Floating Point Accelerator provides 128-bit SSE floating point capabilities, which enables each core to simultaneously execute up to four FLOPS per clock (four times the floating-point computations of previous AMD Opteron processors) for significantly improving performance in compute-intensive and workstation applications. • AMD Balanced Smart Cache represents significant cache enhancements with 512KB L2 cache per core and 6MB enhanced L3 cache across all four cores.
