AMD : Announces Five Istanbul New 6-Core

6:16 AM AMD, Comparison, hardware, Network, Techno No Comments

Five processors Istanbul new 6-core is announced [by] AMD. Three among others balmy server 2P and two other aims at model 4P/8P. this new CPU-CPU figures in two processors SE for server area focusing at performance and three processors HE which more economical of energy compared to series standard version 6-core 2400 and 8400. Later, AMD will offer chip EE is consuming its(the energy?power only 45 watts.

For server 2P, AMD offers 2439 SELENIUMS ( 2,8GHz, 105 watts), 2425 HE ( 2,1GHz, 55 watts) and 2423 HE ( 2,0GHz, 55 watts). While for server 4P/8P on the market 8439 SELENIUMS ( 2,8GHz, 105 watts) and 8425 HE ( 2,1 GHZ, 55 watts). This chips on the market at the price of premium above processor 6-core 75 standard watts introduced at the beginning of June then.

Newfangled 8439 SELENIUMS is esteemed [by] US $ 2649, while 8425 HE is esteemed [by] US$ 1514. Model 2439 SELENIUMS is sold [by] US$ 1019 and 2425 HE at the price of US$ 523 ( 2423 HE: US$ 455).

About performance, AMD claims its(the SE processor is parallel with chip Nehalem Intel, and, at least at configuraton 24-core, 4-way, this green team now more pre-eminently is compared to Intel. This if we are opening integer rate of return registered for benchmark Spec CPU2006. Configuraton 2-way 2439 SELENIUMS and 8439 SELENIUMS seen precise in the middle of processor performance Nehalem, among Xeon E5504 and E5520. Draws it, this cheaper Intel chips - US$ 224 in low end and US$ 373 at high end.

AMD seen to be conscious that they cannot compete with performance Nehalem property of Intel. In consequence pre-eminent his(its at Istanbul is approach “ balanced”, including consumption of energy?power. Of course, chips Istanbul finishs slimmer of energy?power compared to property of its(the rival: 75 watts for standard configuraton, 105 watts in product is having performance height, and 55 watts in version low power. Unhappily, measuring rod both unegual. Intel publishs consumption of its(the processor energy?power in thermal power maximum rating, medium of AMD in rating consumption of mean energy?power.

AMD also outspoken compares its(the 6-core processor with product Intel. But is mentioned that its(the HE processor presenting performance per more 18% watt compared to its(the standard CPU>Central Processing Unit. Selenium Processor 6-core around quicker 50% compared to processor SE quad-core. So(after claim AMD.
