\nSydney, Australia. \u2013 Nov. 5, 2012 \u2014 <\/strong>AMD today unveiled its new AMD Opteron\u2122 6300 series server processors based on its next-generation\u00a0 \u201cPiledriver\u201d core architecture. The new AMD Opteron processors deliver superior performance and scalability for virtualised server platforms that are central to private and public cloud deployments, big data systems and high-performance computing (HPC) clusters.\u00a0 The AMD Opteron 6300 Series processors strike the ultimate balance between performance, scalability and cost effectiveness to help IT organisations lower total cost of ownership (TCO).<\/p>\n

The AMD Opteron 6300 Series processors offer industry-leading performance in Specjbb2005, a server benchmark used to evaluate Java performance, with up to 24 percent higher performance versus the prior generation AMD Opteron 6200 Series processors1. Java is a critical element of the software ecosystem for next-generation datacenters. Performance per-watt is up to 40 percent higher than the prior generation solutions2, which means businesses running robust large-scale software systems will be able to enjoy high performance as well as low TCO.<\/p>\n

AMD continues to drive HPC performance with the AMD Opteron 6300 Series processors by leveraging optimisations in compilers and libraries and combining it with the next-generation core architecture.\u00a0 AMD has delivered impressive results in key HPC applications such as the molecular dynamics workloads LAMMPs and NAMD3.<\/p>\n

\u201cAcross global IT organisations, cost-effective, scalable performance is a core requirement to support cloud computing, server consolidation, and highly threaded workloads common in HPC, big data and other areas,\u201d said Suresh Gopalakrishnan, general manager, Server business unit, AMD. \u201cThe key to a winning solution for customers is working with OEMs and other solution providers to minimize TCO with a combination of cost-effectiveness and superior performance per-watt. AMD Opteron 6300 Series processors are uniquely positioned to be the difference-maker customers are seeking.\u201d<\/p>\n

Customer and Partner Traction<\/strong>
\nServers based on the AMD Opteron 6300 Series from Dell and HP are expected to be available before the end of the year.\u00a0 Systems and platforms are available today from Cray, SGI, Supermicro as well as AMAX, Appro, Asus, ClusterVision, Colfax International, Megware Computer, Microway, Penguin Computing, Silicon Mechanics and ZT Systems.\u00a0 AMD\u2019s own \u201cRoadrunner<\/a>\u201d platform, developed for the Open Compute Project<\/a>, will be available in Q1 2013. Moreover, AMD has already seen early traction with the AMD Opteron 6300 processor with a supercomputing deployment at Indiana University leveraging the new chip.<\/p>\n
