5 new Opteron HE: 55W ACP Posted on 13/05/2008 at 21:34 by Nicolas
Yesterday, AMD announced the arrival of five new quad core Opteron HE. They set themselves apart with an ACP (Average CPU Power) of 55W, which according to the latest information corresponds to a TDP (Thermal Design Power) of 79W for AMD. There is therefore a large difference between these two measurements, but unfortunately this distinction seems to be rather poorly understood.
The Opteron 2344 HE (1.7 GHz - $209), 2346 HE (1.8GHz - $255) and 2347 HE (1.9 GHz -$377) are destined to dual processors while the 8346 HE (1.8GHz -$698) and 8347 HE (1.9 GHz -$873) fit onto motherboards with 4 or 8 sockets.
