AMD has announced the launch of the Opteron 4000 series specially (codename Lisbon) designed for cloud computing and hyperscale data centers. Nine models were lanched and all of them are manufactured on 45-nm technology, feature a built-in DDR3 dual-channel memory controller, two HyperTransport 3.0 links, and are based on the socket C32 platform. Below you can see the models launched and their main specs. Model | Cores | Internal Clock | ACP | Price (1,000 units) | Opteron 4184 | 6 | 2.8 GHz | 75 W | USD 316 | Opteron 4180 | 4 | 2.6 GHz | 75 W | USD 188 | Opteron 4130 | 4 | 2.6 GHz | 75 W | USD 125 | Opteron 4122 | 4 | 2.2 GHz | 75 W | USD 99 | Opteron 4176 HE | 6 | 2.4 GHz | 50 W | USD 377 | Opteron 4174 HE | 6 | 2.3 GHz | 50 W | USD 255 | Opteron 4170 HE | 6 | 2.1 GHz | 50 W | USD 174 | Opteron 4164 EE | 6 | 1.8 GHz | 32 W | USD 698 | Opteron 4162 EE | 6 | 1.7 GHz | 32 W | USD 316 |
It is important to not confuse ACP with TDP (Thermal Design Power), which indicates the processor power thermal dissipation and is used to choose the appropriate kind of cooler. ACP (Average Power Consumption) is a new metric AMD is using to indicate the real power consumption of their processors targeted to the server market.

| More Info: http://www.amd.com/us/press-releases/Pages/amd-delivers-elite-2010apr2... |
AMD launched today their first six-core CPUs: Phenom II X6 1055T (2.8 GHz) and Phenom II X6 1090T (3.2 GHz). Both new CPUs are manufactured under 45-nm process and are based on the AM3 socket. Something new with these new CPUs is the adoption of a boost technology similar to Intel’s Turbo Boost. When the CPU “feels” that three or more cores are idle, it will increase the clock rate from the active cores. On Phenom II X6 1055T the clock is increased from 2.8 GHz to 3.2 GHz, while on Phenom II X6 1090T the clock is increased from 3.2 GHz to 3.6 GHz. Phenom II X6 1055T is quoted at USD 199 and Phenom II X6 1090T is quoted at USD 295. For more information, please read our Phenom II X6 1090T CPU Review. AMD is also launching a new chipset, AMD 890FX (the most important feature is the native support for SATA-600 ports).

Intel launched today its first 32-nm processors based on Westmere architecture. 17 dual-core models were launched, including versions for desktops (codename Clarkdale) and notebooks (codename Arrandale). The novelty is that these processors feature an integrated graphics controller (GPU) and an embedded memory controller. These processors also supports Hyper-Threading technology (except Pentium G9650 model) and, depending on the model, Turbo Boost technology, which allows the CPU to increase its clock when the computer demands for more processing power, and six new instructions targeted to encryption (called AES-NIS or Advanced Encryption Standard New Instructions). These new processors feature a two-die design: one die containing two 32-nm processing cores and other 45-nm die containing the memory controller and the graphics controller.
