Plans to Launch Refreshed Opteron 6200 Series
It is just three months that AMD brought out its Opteron 6200 series “Interlagos” CPU range, and now the company is looking forward to add six new processors offering better specifications compared to their antecessors.
It is believed that the new models will be offering 200MHz clock and Turbo Core frequencies right at the power level which you get in the presently available Opteron 6200 chips.
AMD has plans of rolling out its Opteron 6208 featuring just four processing cores which will be working at 3.5GHz speed.
You’ll find this CPU fitted inside a thermal envelope of 115W and the another one will be the Opteron 6200 processor that will be available without any Turbo Core support.
The other chips on the line from AMD will be offering 115W TDP which is offered in Opteron 6208. Namely these are the 8 core 6224, 12 core 6242, and the 16 core 6280.
These processors will have clock speed ranging from 2.5GHz to 3.2GHz. However, with the help of Turbo Core technology, you’ll find frequencies of the select parts reaching pretty high with 3.8GHz when you aren’t using all their cores.
There is again a processor with higher performance, 16 core Opteron 6286 SE offering 140W TDP which will be available clocked at 2.8GHz which will then be reaching to about 3.5GHz with Turbo support.
You again have Opteron 6266 HE packed up with 8 Bulldozer modules for 16 computing cores on the other end of the line up. This comes with base clock speed of 1.8GHz which can be maximized to 3.1GHz with Turbo support and manages to fit right inside a thermal envelope of 85W.
All these processors come consolidated with 16 MD L3 cache and quite comfortably fits into the socket G34 motherboards.
Well, no launch date has yet been declared for the all new Opteron 6200 series CPU, however, it predicted to be arriving sometimes at the time when Xeon E5 server products from Intel will be hitting the market.
