The evolutionary AMD Opteron 175 Dual-core processor provides a highly scalable architecture that delivers next-generation performance and a flexible upgrade path from 32 to 64-bit computing for any workstation and server platform. The processor represents a dramatic leap forward in compatibility, performance, investment protection and reduced total cost of ownership (TCO).
This powerful processor operates at 2.2GHz with 2 x 1MB (2MB total) L2 Cache for significantly enhanced overall system performance and incredible efficiency in complex computing environments like CAD, graphics and scientific workstation platforms or high-end gaming desktop systems.
- AMD64 Dual-core TechnologyAMD64 is designed to enable simultaneous 32- and 64-bit computing with no degradation in performance. With dual-core technology there are two complete processor cores in one physical package running at the same frequency to deliver TRUE multi-tasking power. Users can freely switch from one program to another without pausing for the computer to catch up, reducing processing pause annoyances.
- Integrated DDR DRAM Memory ControllerThe AMD Opteron 175 Dual-core processor is integrated with a DDR DRAM memory controller with ECC DRAM support. The integrated memory controller changes the way the processor accesses main memory, resulting in increased bandwidth, reduced memory latencies and enhanced processor performance. DDR400/PC3200 memory provides the processor with up to 6.4GB/s memory bandwidth.
- HyperTransport TechnologyHyperTransport Technology (HT or HTT) is a high-speed, low latency, point-to-point link designed to increase communication speeds between integrated circuits in computers, servers, embedded systems, and networking and telecommunications equipment. With HT technology the AMD Opteron 175 Dual-core processor enjoys 1000MHz system bus speeds.
- Enhanced Virus ProtectionAll AMD processors equipped with AMD64 technology are enabled with Enhanced Virus Protection. Enhanced virus protection acts as a preventative measure causing viruses to be localized, short-lived and non-contagious, eventually being flushed from system memory.
