AMD Opteron™ Benchmarks for Servers and Workstations

Saying you’re the “World’s Best Processor” is one thing.
Actually being the “World’s Best Processor” is another.

The AMD Opteron™ processor continues to lead the industry in x86 dual-core performance.

Under the newest SPECcpu2006 benchmarks, AMD Opteron™ processors continue to set the standard in x86 dual-core processor performance—besting our competitor by up to 15%. We credit that to our superior native dual-core design, with its Direct Connect Architecture, DDR2 memory, and industry-leading performance-per-watt. All with a clear migration path to native Quad-Core. It’s all proof positive that customer-centric innovation wins over hype.

SPECcpu2006 benchmarks clearly indicate the performance advantages of the AMD Opteron™ processor over the Xeon 5160.

AMD Opteron™ processors with Direct Connect Architecture help minimize the real challenges and bottlenecks of system architectures because everything is directly connected to the CPU. Direct Connect Architecture delivers the best 1P, 2P, 4P, and 8P architecture for x86 computing, resulting in exceptional performance-per-watt. AMD Opteron processors provide the ideal performance boost for the working environments of today and tomorrow.
