“With the availability of the Dual-Core AMD Opteron processor Models 885 and 285 with Colfax systems, Colfax International now expands its AMD64 dual-core product line offering to our customer base,” said Mike Fay, Vice President, Colfax International. “As a result, customers can take advantage of this industry-transforming native dual-core technology to further amplify performance and efficiency on a diverse selection of Colfax servers and workstations.”
