The AMD Opteron Processor for High-end Embedded Designs , Providing a balanced approach to embedded system design The AMD Opteron processor helps enable a breakthrough in high-performance, low power processing for edge-of-enterprise markets including storage and tele- communications, as well as more traditional embedded markets such as security and medical imaging, military systems, and single-board computing. AMD64 technology with Direct Connect Architecture helps provide a balanced foundation for embedded systems. Based on the industry-standard x86 platform, AMD64 delivers the right match of processing power, memory performance, I/O throughput, and scalability. Add the vision of 32- and 64-bit application support with native multi-core computing in a consistent thermal envelope and many embedded designers are finding their AMD Opteron processor-based next- generation systems deliver superior application performance. What can a leading processor platform offer AMD Opteron processors with third generation Direct Connect Architecture can help improve overall system performance and efficiency by helping eliminate traditional bottlenecks inherent in architectures where traditional front-side buses restrict and interrupt the flow of data. With AMD Opteron processors, there are no front-side buses. Instead, the processors, memory, and I/O are directly connected to the CPU. Further, the integrated memory controller helps reduce memory latency while HyperTransport technology delivers a very high I/O bandwidth. Data speeds through the system without encountering the traditional front-side bus bottleneck of competing x86 platforms. In addition to the architectural benefits inherent in Direct Connect Architecture, the AMD Opteron processor offers the following unique advantages for high-end embedded systems: > HyperTransport technology provides up to 17.6GB/s per link The AMD Opteron processor provides unique scalability options in HT 3.0 generation, and is compatible with HT 1.0 generation with glueless multi-processing from one socket (2, 4 or 6 core) to implementation 8 socket systems. This, combined with AMD64s reliability, helps deliver an embedded design that can provide customers a long- > On-die integrated DDR2 memory controller offers available range plan for the life cycle of their systems. memory bandwidth up to 12.8GB/s (with DDR2-800) per processor Beyond outstanding processors: Longevity, exceptional design support, quick time to market > Hardware assisted AMD Virtualization technology in AMD Opteron processors with DDR2 helps streamline the efficiency The AMD64 Longevity Program is designed so that the high- of multiple servers and provides virtual machine memory performance processors you select for an embedded design will isolation for improved security be available when you need them.
