This review is from: AMD Opteron 6272 Interlagos 2.1 GHz 16MB L3 Cache Socket G34 115W OS6272WKTGGGUWOF Server Processor
Pros:
Modest cost, low power, high chip-count motherboards. Scales well.
Cons:
Only 8 FPUs causes resource contention and decreases performance above 1 thread per 2 "cores."
Overall Review:
Overall performance is very comparable to E5-2620 for truly parallel work (either FP or integer). The 6272 is slightly (10%) slower up to 1 thread per FPU, but finishes slightly (10%) faster at 2 threads per CPU.
As others have noted: the point of this chip is parallelism. If your application doesn't parallelize well, this won't help.
