AMD Readies "Adelaide" Low-Power Server Platform. For years Advanced Micro Devices has claimed that its central processing units (CPUs) for servers are more power-efficient compared to rivals from Intel Corp., however, while the latter offered specially-tailored low-power server platforms, AMD only relied onto its energy-efficient chips on standard platforms. But the things are going to change later this year when AMD launches its code-named Adelaide 2-way platform. AMD Adelaide platform will be based on the code-named Lisbon six-core energy-efficient CPUs as well as AMD SR5650 core-logic (22 PCIe lanes, 9.6W TDP in low-power HT1 mode) with AMD SP5100 input/output controller. AMD Opteron 4160 EE and 4158 EE chips will be clocked at tremendously low clock-speeds – 1.60GHz and 1.50GHz – however, this makes us hope that the microprocessors will also consume dramatically low amount of power – up to 35W. At present AMD Opteron EE processors have 60W thermal design power (TDP) and 40W average CPU power (ACP). http://www.xbitlabs.com/news/cpu/dis...latfo rm.html |
