Here's what they are saying
AMD’s powerful Dual-Core AMD Opteron processor technology and Kingston memory offer a dynamic duo in computing performance. Kingston quality memory optimizes the revolutionary AMD64 platform.
- -Mark Tekunoff, Senior Technology Manager, Kingston Technology Corporation
Linux Networx customers require the most advanced technology that is available in the industry, and we believe that the Dual-Core AMD Opteron processors will provide a substantial price/performance improvement for a variety of key applications. We have deployed thousands of AMD Opterton processors in our Linux cluster systems with great success, and the advancement of this new technology will allow our customers to receive greater power management and efficiency in achieving their computational goals.
- -Eric Pitcher, Vice President of Technical Marketing, Linux Networx, Inc.
M&A Technology, in collaboration with AMD, intends to unleash the power of the Dual-Core AMD Opteron processor. We are combining the AMD processor’s performance with our Linux clustering expertise to create a world-class enterprise solution with engineered stability and performance.
- -Val Overbey, Chief Technology Officer, M&A Technology
Mandriva is thrilled to be able to offer breakthrough dual-core compatibility to our customers. On Mandriva Linux, Dual-Core AMD Opteron processors can offer a tremendous performance boost, for which we do not plan to charge customers anything extra. We congratulate AMD on this landmark product launch, and look forward to supporting AMD's future innovations.
- -Frederic Lepied, CTO, Mandriva (formerly Mandrakesoft)
The launch of Dual-Core AMD Opteron processors completely aligns with Mellanox's InfiniBand interconnect performance roadmap. As InfiniBand transitions from 10Gb/s to 20Gb/s, I/O, computing and memory performance remain optimally balanced for clustered computing and storage applications that demand world-class performance.
- -Eyal Waldman, CEO and Chairman, Mellanox Technologies, Inc.
Customers want to be able to take advantage of innovative technologies, such as AMD64-based systems and dual-core processors, in a cost-effective manner. Working with partners such as AMD, Microsoft consistently delivers to the Windows® platform customers the best price/performance in the industry. Based on industry benchmarks, the Windows platform has delivered a 200x performance improvement at 1/17 the cost during the past seven years. The combination of Windows Server 2003 x64 Editions and AMD64 multi-core processors will continue to drive even better performance, giving customers the ability to get more value out of their 32-bit and 64-bit applications.
- -Bob Kelly, General Manager of Windows Server Group, Microsoft Corporation
The increased power and memory capacity of AMD Opteron processors provides a compelling hardware platform for MicroStrategy. Running on 64-bit Linux or Microsoft Windows operating systems, AMD64 technology provides greater than 4 gigabyte memory addressing capabilities to handle and manipulate large data sets and report caches. The increased addressable memory improves system performance and allows customers to configure their business intelligence systems in ways that are simply not possible with 32-bit only architectures.
- -Jeff Bedell, CTO, MicroStrategy, Inc.
The latest AMD innovation, putting a second core on the die, enables programs that are not memory bound to take full advantage of the additional processing power. Applications that can dramatically improve in speed include floating-point-intensive computations, like FFTs, which have high data re-use rates; SMP applications that make frequent calls, including transaction-based business applications; and programs that depend on byte code interpreters like JAVA to carry the work load. The Dual-Core AMD Opteron processor will change the face of high-performance computing.
- -Stephen Fried, President and CTO, Microway, Inc.
What AMD has done with the Dual-Core AMD Opteron processor is incredible. Not only can we now offer 4P/8-core systems in a 2U form factor, but we can also offer many of our existing Empro customers an easy upgrade path to double the number of CPU cores in their existing systems.
- -Trey Harris, Founder, Monarch Computer
The AMD Opteron™ processor Model 252 is the highest performing CPU available for a two-way processor x86 system. In addition to its outstanding speed, the new AMD Opteron processor Model 252 with Direct Connect Architecture is packed full of features that also make it the most technologically advanced CPU available. Direct Connect Architecture eliminates the front-side bus and memory bottlenecks, and AMD PowerNow!™ technology helps make sure the full power of your system is available when you need it and not wasted when you don't. This combination of speed and technology make the AMD Opteron processor the best CPU available for a dual-CPU workstation or server.
