AMD and Novell: The Best-Engineered Linux Foundation for Enterprise Computing

Tags:
processors

Overview As the x86 industry's first native quad-core processor, Quad-Core AMD Opteron processors are designed to significantly improve performance in physical and virtual environments. From the beginning, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server from Novell has been optimized to take advantage of features unique to these processors, creating a stable, long-term solution that can meet critical enterprise demands for exceptional energy efficiency, advanced virtualization technology, and outstanding computing performance. Quad-Core Opteron processors deliver essential performance-enhancing and energy-saving elements like a shared 2-MB L3 cache, split planes for independently controlling processor and northbridge voltage and frequency, and physical memory addressing up to 256 TB.
