Chip maker Advanced Micro Devices Inc launched its six-core Opteron server processor codenamed ‘Istanbul’. The new processor would work in servers using AMD’s previous range of processors. This would enable users to upgrade without investing in new servers, the company said. AMD said the new processor has up to 34 percent more performance-per-watt over the previous generation quad-core processors in the exact same platform. Systems based on the processor s are expected to be available beginning this month from companies, including Cray, Dell, HP, IBM and Sun Microsystems, along with support from motherboard and infrastructure partners. HE, SE and EE versions of the processor are planned for the second half of 2009, the company said.
