13. AMD OpteronTM Processor Update
The Six-Core „Istanbul“
Roberto Dognini, October 2009

14. Six-Core AMD Opteron™ Processor (“Istanbul”)
Industry’s only Six-Core processor with Direct Connect Architecture for
2P, 4P, 8P x86 Servers
 Six true cores
 New HyperTransport™ technology HT Assist
 Increased HyperTransport™ 3 technology
(HT3) bandwidth
 Higher performing Integrated Memory
Controller
 Same power/thermal envelopes as Quad-
Core AMD Opteron™ processor
Up to a 30% performance increase over Quad-
Core AMD Opteron™ processor codenamed
“Shanghai”*
*Based on internal testing at AMD performance labs as of 3/27/09.

15. Innovation: HT Assist Improves Throughput
Reduces probe Increases Significant
filter traffic STREAM memory improvements
between bandwidth by as in 4P and 8P, DB
processors much as 60%* & virtualization
