The Opteron 2300 series builds upon previous generations, taking advantage of new technologies. The Opteron 2382 is a Quad-core processor that can be scaled up to 2-processors and 8-cores for unbeatable performance. The four cores run at 2.6GHz each and have 4 x 512KB of L2 cache as well as 6MB of L3 cache.
More power generates more heat. More heat requires more energy for cooling and can shorten the lifespan of the system. AMD takes a multi-pronged approach: It takes advantage of DDR2 memory, which uses 30% less energy. The new PowerNow! Technology provides power on demand by adjusting performance based on need, and can reduce power at idle by 75%.
AMD Virtualization can put an end to the one server, one application problem common to many data centers. Consolidate servers by running multiple applications on a single box. The integrated memory controller keeps memory used in each virtual machine isolated. This saves you money since you need fewer systems to do the same work your capital outlay is less -- and so is your monthly power bill. The AMD Opteron 2382 works hard for your money!
