	Sun and x64 Technology - Overview
		Powered by the AMD Opteron or Intel Xeon platforms, these systems give you top performance, scalability, power efficiency, manageability, and longevity benefits.
		Plus, they let you meet your high performance computing, server consolidation, and web infrastructure goals, whether you run Solaris, Linux, or Windows.

	Opteron - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The AMD Opteron is the first eighth-generation x86 processor (K8 core), and the first of AMD's AMD64 (x86-64) processors, released April 22, 2003.
		The Opteron approach to multi-processing is not the same as standard symmetric multiprocessing as instead of having one bank of memory for all CPUs, each CPU has its own memory.
		Socket F is the new socket for the higher-end server-grade Opterons.

		Opteron was designed to be a good fit to the volume server market (1-8 way), which comprises 99% of the server market.
		The 4-way is definitely not the pot of gold at the end of the Opteron's road, because Newisys plans to introduce a 32-way(!) Opteron at the beginning of the 4th quarter this year.
		We tested the Opteron as a HPC (scientific) crunching machine, a web server, a database server, an OLTP server and a rendering farm, because these are the markets the Opteron is slotted for.

	AMD: Customers Want 64-Bit Computing
		Opteron is made up of 100 million transistors built on 130 nanometer technology, Sanders explained.
		But Opteron also comes at a time when recession-weary IT buyers are tossing aside their costly RISC/Unix-based architectures in favor of the economical and scalable CISC, or x86, solutions that were long championed by AMD's chief rival, Intel.
		AMD is hoping the Opteron's lower cost-of-entry will attact users who want to run compute- or memory-intensive applications like enterprise resource planning or database management solutions but can't afford to scrap their existing x86 infrastructure, which is predominantly based on 32-bit computing.

		Opteron is the first processor released in the Hammer / K8 series of 64-bit processors supporting x86-64.
		The Opteron leverages larger standard on-die L2 caches than the regular Athlon 64 chips will, with 1 MB of cache standard.
		In multiprocessing configurations, each Opteron has the capability to work with its own local memory, increasing throughput, but also increasing complexity of memory access (thus, the need for all those fast HyperTransport links).

	Next-Generation AMD Opteron Paves The Way For Quad-Core - Server Center - Network Computing
		The introduction of Opteron Rev-F provides AMD with an enhanced processor platform to battle the gains made by Intel with its recently introduced Woodcrest sever platform, which uses that company's new Core architecture.
		AMD executives say some application may experience as much as a 20% performance gain with the new Opteron Rev-F processors compared to the existing Opterons, but the real boost is expected when the quad-core chips become available.
		Opteron Rev-F maintains the same underlying architecture as the existing Opteron line unlike Intel's new Core-based processor, which represents a break from Intel's older NetBurst architecture.

	AMD enhances the pitch for Opteron. But who’s buying it? - TechUpdate - ZDNet (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		Buy an Opteron today for its 32-bit prowess today, and when you’re ready to upgrade to 64-bits, you won’t have to buy a new machine, is the standard positioning.
		Since the Opteron can simultaneously support the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of an application that needs to be migrated, Knox argues that the Opteron allows you to have your cake and eat it too.
		The Opteron’s 64-bit instruction set is an extension of the original x86 instruction set, as opposed to Intel’s 64-bit architecture (IA-64), which is driven by a new instruction set altogether.

		Opteron's outstanding cost-performance ratio, increased memory management and ability to concurrently support 32- and extended 64-bit apps have vendors taking notice.
		It's unlikely that HP, IBM and Sun started building Opteron servers because IT managers were beating down their doors.
		Rather, the industry recognized Opteron's outstanding cost-performance ratio, increased memory management and ability to concurrently support 32- and extended 64-bit applications.

		While both Opteron and Itanium ran newer 64-bit software, AMD's chip was also backward-compatible, enabling it to run software written for older 32-bit processors.
		A year after the Opteron chip hit the market, we recognized that AMD was winning over some big customers and seemed poised to make a mint.
		At first, Opteron helped AMD inch up its share of the server chip market from 4.1% in early 2003 to 6.9% 15 months later.

		Because of this architecture the communication between the CPU and the memory modules is done thru a dedicated memory bus, while the communication between the CPU and the chipset uses a separated bus, HyperTransport (click here to read our tutorial on HyperTransport).
		Opteron models starting with “1” (1xx series) can’t run in SMP mode, while models starting with “2” (2xx series) can run in a two-way SMP mode (i.e.
		A few Opteron processors from 1xx series use socket 939 pinout and they are just a renamed Athlon 64 or Athlon 64 X2 (if it has dual-core technology) processor.

	PC World - Opteron Rules, HP Says
		Opteron's Hypertransport interconnects and integrated memory controller will allow it to maintain a slight advantage over Dempsey and a significant advantage over Tulsa, Cooper told a group of HP users and partners looking for more information on dual-core processors.
		Even though Intel is increasing the speed of the links between the Dempsey and Tulsa processors and the rest of the system, Opteron's connection to main memory runs at the clock speed of the processor, 2.4GHz in the case of the fastest Opteron chip, said Steve Cumings, group manager for ProLiant servers, during the briefing.
		Those direct links on Opteron improve the performance of any application that is dependent upon a fast connection to memory, such as enterprise-resource planning applications from companies such as SAP AG, Cooper said.
