12-core Magny-Cours AMD Opteron at 3 GHz!
Hard tuners do not spare server processors that have not yet appeared.
An identifiable member of the XtremeSystems forum called s7e9h3n has shared a real specialty with the world, as he developed a developer sample of AMD’s upcoming 12-core Magny-Cours Opteron. The release of the brutal CPU is set for Q2010 1, but s7e9h3n (don’t try to describe it quickly!) Has already experienced the power of 12 cores. Of course, it would have been cool if he had been content with that much, instead he started a delicate little tuning, and he pulled the mouth of Opteron, who hadn't even appeared, in such a way that we didn't really understand how he could survive. Of course, we can also approach it from its positive side, because if the factory running at 1,7 GHz was able to reach the 3 GHz frequency, it shows a pretty good tuning potential.
The ES proci contains 12 cores, so instructions can be executed on 12 threads, the base clock is the already mentioned 1,7 GHz, the secondary cache is 6 MB (512 KB per core), the L3 shared cache is 10 MB and the base voltage of the unit is 1,04 A. Here comes the sluspopo, because s7e9h3n actually got not one, but two pieces of this CPU, which he put in a motherboard with an ES Socket G34 socket as well. He associated 8 GB of 1333 MHz DDR3 as system memory with the Opterons.
In the configuration built in this way, the wPrime and memory bandwidth measurements were successfully run even at the 3 GHz clock signal, the result of which was shocking, to put it mildly, as it almost reached 42 GB / s. Socket G34 systems are said to provide 4-channel mode for memory, so if that's true, 42GB / s is virtually the theoretical maximum for 1333 MHz DDR3 performance, so faster values can increase that value even further.
