AMD Updates Opteron Family - Opteron 852, 252 & 152

February 14th 2005 | CPUs & Chipsets

The Sunnyvale, Calif.-based company will release on Monday three new Opteron chips for servers — the Opteron 852, 252 and 152 — that sport a number of enhancements over existing models. The chips run at 2.6GHz, faster than the 2.4GHz chips AMD has been selling. The HyperTransport links, which shuttle data between the processors and other devices, have been sped up from 800MHz to 1GHz. Just as important, the chips contain PowerNow with Optimized Power Management, which lets the operating system slow the processor’s clock speed and consequently reduce power consumption, said Ben Williams, vice president of the server microprocessor business unit.
