AMD today announced immediate launch and availability of its AMD Opteron
6200 and 4200 Series processors (formerly code-named “Interlagos” and
“Valencia”). AMD also announced the expansion of its 2012 roadmap with
the addition of the new AMD Opteron 3000 Series platform. The AMD
Opteron 3000 Series platform is targeted to the ultra-dense, ultra-low
power 1P Web Hosting/Web Serving and Microserver markets. The first
processor will be the 4-8 core CPU code-named “Zurich”, expected to ship
in the first half of 2012. “Zurich” is based on the “Bulldozer”
architecture and leverages the new Socket AM3+. The AMD Opteron 3000
series offering is designed for hosting customers who require dedicated
servers for their customers. These cloud and web hosting customers
appreciate the cost savings associated with a lower cost infrastructure,
yet still want to deploy a server-class product with reliability and
security features and server OS certification.
