AMD Opteron 2218 Processor OSA2218CQWOF
Second-Generation AMD Opteron™ processors with Direct Connect Architecture introduce several new features including quad-core upgradeability, AMD Virtualization™ (AMD-V™), and energy efficient DDR2 memory. In addition, Second-Generation AMD Opteron processors are designed to advance AMD’s performance-per-watt capabilities and leverage the proven technologies introduced in 2003 with first-generation AMD Opteron processors.

Second-Generation AMD Opteron™ processors with DDR2 memory extend the industry-leading performance trajectory established by first-generation AMD Opteron processors while offering a seamless upgrade path to quad-core performance and leading-edge solutions to help run your business applications.

AMD Opteron processors feature a Common Core Architecture that is consistent across 1-way, 2-way, 4-way, and 8-way systems and is also consistent with previous AMD Opteron processors, helping minimize the cost of transition and maximize past investments in software optimization.

Features AMD Virtualization™ (AMD-V™) Hardware assisted AMD Virtualization™ and Direct Connect Architecture provide a balanced approach to help improve virtualization performance, enabling more virtual machines to run per server. AMD-V™ reduces overhead by selectively intercepting instructions destined for guest environments. Direct Connect Architecture helps guests run at near native speed. Virtualization-aware integrated memory controller provides efficient isolation of virtual machine memory. Direct Connect Architecture Addresses and helps reduce the real challenges and bottlenecks of system architectures. The Memory is directly connected to the CPU optimizing memory performance, as well as the I /O, for more balanced throughput and I/O. This allows more linear symmetrical multiprocessing by the CPU. Integrated RDDR2 Memory Controller Low latency for fast memory reads. Memory bandwidth scales as processors are added. AMD Opteron™ processors with energy efficient RDDR2 memory offer greater. memory bandwidth, improved memory RAS and cost savings. HyperTransport™ Technology HyperTransport™ technology is a high performance, easy-to-implement system interconnect technology originally invented by AMD. It is designed to increase overall system performance by removing I/O bottlenecks, increasing bandwidth, and reducing latency. HyperTransport technology implemented in the AMD Athlon™ 64 FX processor enables a system bus to run at 1600MHz. AMD64 Dual Core Technology directly connects two processor cores on to a single die for reduced latencies between processors.
