List of AMD Opteron processors
Opteron is a central processing unit family within the AMD64 line. Designed by Advanced Micro Devices for the server market, Opteron competed with Intel's Xeon. The Opteron family is succeeded by the Zen-based Epyc, and Ryzen Threadripper and Threadripper Pro series.
For Socket 940 and Socket 939 Opterons, each chip has a three-digit model number, in the form Opteron XYY. For Socket F and Socket AM2 Opterons, each chip has a four-digit model number, in the form Opteron XZYY. For all Opterons, the first digit specifies the number of CPUs on the target machine:1 – has 1 processor 2 – has 2 processors 8 – has 4 or 8 processors
For Socket F and Socket AM2 Opterons, the second digit represents the processor generation. Presently, only 2, DDR2, 3 and 4 are used.
For all Opterons, the last two digits in the model number indicate the clock rate of a CPU, a higher number indicating a higher clock rate. This speed indication is comparable to processors of the same generation if they have the same amount of cores. Single-cores and dual-cores have different indications, despite sometimes having the same clock rate.
Model number methodology for the AMD Opteron 4000 and 6000 Series processors.
AMD Opteron processors are identified by a four digit model number, ZYXX, where:
Z – denotes product series
- 4000 Series = Low cost and power optimized 1- and 2-way servers
- 6000 Series = High performance 2- and 4-way servers
- 41xx = 1st generation of 4000 series
- 61xx = 1st generation of 6000 series
The suffix HE or EE denotes a high-efficiency or energy-efficiency model with a lower thermal design power than a standard Opteron. The suffix SE denotes a top-of-the-line model with a higher TDP than a standard Opteron.
