AMD NEWS1
- •Today
AMD reached another
important milestonein leading the industry toward
pervasive 64-bit computing by being
thefirst in the industry
to demonstrate an x86 dual core processor for 32-and64-bit
computing.
- •AMD recently demonstrated a
4-socket HP ProLiant DL585 server powered by four
dual core AMD Opteron™processors manufactured on the 90nm SOI process.
- •
Dual core AMD Opteron™processorsfor
servers and workstations will launch in mid-2005 followed by dual core
processors for the client market in late 2005 and will enable AMD to continue
its x86 technology leadership.
- •AMD Opteron with dual core processing is one more example of howAMD is
extending it’s architectural leadership. AMD’s evolutionary
Direct Connect Architectureconnects
two cores on the same die.
- •AMD is delivering technology leadership to benefit our server and
workstation customers and giving our partners a
competitive advantagein
the market.
- •Since the AMD64 platform was
first discussed publicly in 1999,
we have indicated on multiple occasions that AMD64 was
designed from the ground upto
be optimized for multiple cores.
The AMD64 dual core advantage
- •
Ease of Migration to Dual
Core Processors
- –HP, IBM and Sun and other system manufacturers will be able to easily
incorporate dual core products into their existing AMD Opteron™processor-based
designs
- –End users can upgrade their existing systems that are compatiblewith 90nm
single core processors to dual core processors
- •
Higher Performance Per
Watt
- –Customers will experience the performance advantages of dual core
processors by getting the best performance per watt available inthe market
- •
Direct Connect
Architecture
- –Best 2-socket and 4-socket architecture for x86 computing
- –Addresses and helps reduce the real challenges and bottlenecks of system
architecture because everything is directly connected to the CPU
- –Directly connects the two processor cores on to a single die to even
further reduce latencies between processors

AMD Opteron™Dual Core Overview
- •The AMD Opteron™processor was designed from the start to add a second
core
- –Port already existed on crossbar/SRI
- –One die with 2 CPU cores, each core has its own 1MB L2 cache
- •Drops into existing AMD Opteron 940-pin sockets that are compatible
with 90nm single core processors
- •A BIOS update was all that was necessary to get the 4-socket server up
and running with dual core AMD Opteron processors
- •The 2 CPU cores share the same memory and HyperTransport™technology
resources found in single core AMD Opteron processors
- –Integrated memory controller & HyperTransport links route out the same
as today’s implementation
