ITProAMD has today launched its six-core Opteron processor, codenamed 'Istanbul'.
The processor is aimed at the two, four and eight socket spaces and all the new features and enhancements would be available across the board.
The CPU are connected via AMD's Direct Connect Architecture (DCA) although the company confirmed it would be releasing a new generation of DCA, 2.0, in 2010.
Pat Patla, vice president of AMD’s Server/Workstation Division, said: “With AMD-V (virtualisation suite) and AMD-P (power suite) you will get this technology across the entire processor family.”
“Intel make you call out which you want to implement. Our approach is no compromise.”
