- -Jim Cashman, President and CEO, ANSYS, Inc.
“In developing the Quad-Core AMD Opteron™ 2300 Series processors, AMD has demonstrated forward thinking, not only about the upgrade path to simply introduce the latest and greatest processor to help enable servers to run faster, but the new processors are also innovative in their approach to energy efficiency and virtualization capabilities. Overall, the Quad-Core AMD Opteron processors ensure that Fujitsu Siemens Computers PRIMERY RX330 servers are heavyweight performers for compute-intensive database and virtualization applications in the data center today – and tomorrow.”
- -Jens-Peter Seick, Senior Vice President Enterprise Business, Fujitsu Siemens Computers
"The new Quad-Core AMD Opteron™ processor is exciting for our customers because it is the first native quad-core solution on a single piece of silicon. Further, the improved I/O, core and cache enhancements allow higher performance while consuming less energy. This is exactly what Absoft Fortran customers want for their HPC clusters and high performance workstations. Absoft has been working with AMD to develop new AMD specific optimizations for its latest Absoft Fortran compilers. These newest optimizations show significant speed increases in several areas and will be available to our customers soon. Absoft is committed to further expanding our relationship with AMD and to continue providing our customers with the highest performance available on AMD based computing systems."
- -Wood Lotz, President, Absoft Corporation
“We are extremely excited to support the launch of the Quad-Core AMD Opteron™ processor. We strive to build solutions based on leading innovative and reliable technology, and by adding AMD’s native quad-core processor into our portfolio of offerings, we are able to significantly broaden the choices available to our customers.”
- -N.J. Lee, Sr. VP of Inventec Enterprise System Corp.
“We're very excited to see new technology entering the market that fills the gap for many of our clients who require faster clock speeds as well as high memory bandwidth. This advancement offered by AMD will take many of those clients to the next level not only with regards to density, but with overall cluster efficiency.”
- -Shelly (Matthews) Kelley, Vice President of Sales, Advanced Clustering Technologies
"Angstrom’s compute hungry customers are looking forward to deploying the Quad-Core AMD Opteron™ processor. With our patent-pending cooling technology, Angstrom offers 832 cores per rack, setting the mark for high density liquid cooled AMD server solutions.”
- -Lalit Jain, CEO, Angstrom Microsystems
“Appro XtremeServers and workstations powered by AMD Opteron™ processors represent a value proposition based on improved performance and memory availability for traditional high-performance computing (HPC) and commercial applications, while adding reliability and flexibility for our end-users with peak performance and outstanding value. Quad-Core AMD Opteron™ processors improve our server’s value proposition through an enhanced cache structure designed to boost performance and increase data and efficiency handling, thereby reducing the latency of accessing main memory, especially for compute-intensive multi-threaded applications. In addition, the architecture drastically improves the memory and I/O latency for HPC customers that are using 64 bit applications, and it helps 32 bit applications run faster as well. In the end, the importance of AMD’s native multi-core architecture is vital for computational-intensive business productivity.”
- -John Lee, Vice President of Advanced Technology Solutions Group, Appro
