AMD's Latest Opteron Is Quad-Core and Versatile


Budapest is a Quad-Core Opteron for a single processor server -- such as a small database. So why does Cray build supercomputers with it?


AMD announced the Quad-Core Opteron 1000 Series, a.k.a. Budapest. This processor is meant for single-socket servers or high-performance desktop workstations and fills out the low end of the Quad-Core Opteron line.

Somewhat overlooked but none the less important to AMD's product strategy, the 1000 Series goes into smaller servers, such as light load file and print servers or e-mail/Web servers.

Other than its placement, it's largely identical to the Quad-Core Opteron line for two or more sockets, known as "Barcelona”.

It uses the AM2 socket, the same as the desktop phenom Athlon Series, rather than the Opteron's Socket F. Steve Demsky, Opteron product manager for AMD, notes you are better off with a Quad-Core Phenom if you want pure performance.
