AMD Launches Low-Power 40-Watt Opteron EE

jmke · 22nd April 2009, 17:10

AMD today announced what the company is calling a full featured energy miser: a low powered 40-watt version of the quad-core Opteron processor, called the Opteron EE, which is designed specifically for dense server environments like cloud computing. With clock speeds of 2.1GHz and 2.3GHz, the EE surpasses AMD’s 55-watt Opteron HE as the company’s lowest power server chip.

Gina Longoria, Senior Product Manager at AMD, explained in an interview earlier this week that while important, performance is no longer the be all and end all when it comes to servers. As it stands, those in the server business are calling for performance along with a certain level of efficiency and low power consumption.
