Article on the 6000 series: For those of you who don't work with modern X86 servers on a daily basis, the push driving new procurements is virtualizatin and the big constraint on virtural machine performance is how much physical memory you can hang off each processors socket. A highly memory-intensive workload, virtualization is currently one of the most sweeping and pervasive trends in IT. By the end of 2010, industry analysts IDC and Gartner predict there will be greater penetration of virtual machines among companies with 100 to 999 employees than among Global 500 enterprises. To meet the demands of virtualization, you need a platform that provides the computing and memory capabilities to handle the rigors of virtualization while maintaining power efficiency. With up to 48 cores and 512GB of memory in a 4P configuration2, the AMD Opteron™ 6000 Series platform is designed to help reduce power consumption, support more users, more transactions, and more resource-intensive applications – all while helping you achieve higher levels of efficiency and utilization in your virtual environment. The AMD Opteron™ 6000 Series platform features AMD Virtualization™ (AMD-V™ ) 2.0 technology, which is designed to help simplify virtualization solutions, enabling a more satisfying user experience and near native application performance..... ....Energy efficiency without feature compromises An essential component of any virtualization environment is the ability to balance performance with predictable, low energy consumption. Each power band of the AMD Opteron™ 6100 Series processors has the same full set of features as the standard power product, making no compromises on cache, memory speed and interconnect speeds. AMD Opteron™ 6100 Series processors include AMD-P technology, a suite of advanced features that can help to significantly reduce energy usage: > Dual Dynamic Power Management to help reduce idle processor power consumption > C1E Power State, which turns off memory controllers and HyperTransport™ 3 (HT3) technology links during system idle time > AMD PowerNow!™ technology to dynamically manage power utilization across processor cores > AMD CoolCore™ technology to enable reduced power consumption within individual cores > Precision thermal monitoring with AMD CoolSpeed technology – Enhanced APML technology enables precise digital readouts of CPU thermals to closely monitor cooling impacts (in APML-enabled platforms) the rest is here: i.zdnet.com
