Bouillant même !
Et oui comme vous l avez surement remarqué l AMD opteron pointe le bout de son nez dans nos contrées ( vivement HL² )
Je v tenter de vous faire un tit topo dessus
Il s agit d un processeur 32 - 64 bit avec une architecture +/- semblable a un prosso serveur
attention les lignes ki vont suivre sont pour les bilingues ( pour les autres babelfish existe mais je ne vais pas faire la traduction car bien souvent ca traduit en n importe koi )
voila a koi ressemble la bete
The AMD Opteron™ processor, enabling simultaneous 32- and 64-bit computing, represents the landmark introduction of the AMD64 architecture. The AMD Opteron processor is designed to run existing 32-bit applications with outstanding performance and offers customers a simplified migration path to 64-bit computing. This evolutionary processor provides a dramatic leap forward in compatibility, performance, investment protection, and reduced total cost of ownership (TCO). The AMD Opteron processor is offered in three series: the 100 series (1-way), the 200 series (1 to 2-way), and the 800 series (up to 8-way).
The AMD Opteron processor integrates key system elements:
AMD Opteron™ Processor Benefits
The AMD Opteron processor provides a highly scalable architecture that delivers next-generation performance as well as a flexible upgrade path from 32- to 64-bit computing. With a single architecture designed to meet current and future business needs, the AMD Opteron processor can help to minimize the integration complexities presented by business environments today and in the future.
Simultaneous 32- and 64-bit computing capabilities Allows users to run 32-bit and/or 64-bit applications and operating systems as they desire—without sacrificing performance
Support of up to three (3) coherent HyperTransport links, providing up to 19.2GB/s peak bandwidth per processor Provides substantial I/O bandwidth for your current and future application needs
256 Terabytes of memory address space Creates a significant performance benefit for applications in which large (or many) datasets are held in memory
Scales from 1-way to 8-way across entire data or compute centers utilizing the same hardware and software infrastructure Allows for maximum flexibility in IT infrastructure, helping contribute to bottom line success
Integrated memory controller reduces latencies during memory access in a SMP server system Yields fast computational processing for increased performance and productivity

Caractéristique Technique
The AMD64 Architecture
Allows end users to run their existing installed base of 32-bit applications and operating systems at peak performance, while providing a migration path that is 64-bit capable
Designed to enable 64-bit computing while remaining compatible with the vast x86 software infrastructure
Represents a new class of computing, enabling a single architecture across 32- and 64-bit environments
Integrated DDR DRAM Memory Controller
Changes the way the processor accesses main memory, resulting in increased bandwidth, reduced memory latencies, and increased processor performance
Available memory bandwidth scales with the number of processors
128-bit wide integrated DDR DRAM memory controller capable of supporting up to eight (
registered DDR DIMMs per processor Available memory bandwidth up to 5.3 GB/s (with PC2700) per processor
HyperTransport™ Technology
Provides a scalable bandwidth interconnect between processors, I/O subsystems, and other chipsets
Support of up to three (3) coherent HyperTransport links, providing up to 19.2 GB/s peak bandwidth per processor
Up to 6.4 GB/s bandwidth per link providing sufficient bandwidth for supporting new interconnects including PCI-X, DDR, InfiniBand, and 10G Ethernet
Offers low power consumption (1.2 volts) to help reduce a system’s thermal budget
Other features of the AMD Opteron processor include:
64-bit wide key data and address paths that incorporate a 48-bit virtual address space and a 40-bit physical address space
ECC (Error Correcting Code) protection for L1 cache data, L2 cache data and tags, and DRAM with hardware scrubbing of all ECC protected arrays
.13 micron SOI (Silicon on Insulator) process technology for lower thermal output levels and improved frequency scaling
Support for all instructions necessary to be fully compatible with SSE2 technology
Two (2) additional pipeline stages (compared to AMD’s seventh generation architecture) for increased performance and frequency scalability
Higher IPC (Instructions per Clock) achieved through additional key features, such as larger TLBs (Translation Look-aside Buffers), flush filters, and enhanced branch prediction algorithms
