AMDs first ARM-based processor, the Opteron A1100, is finally here
2016-01-14 20:27:21| Extremetech
The new Opteron A1100 packs eight Cortex-A57 CPU cores, with each pair of cores sharing a 1MB L2 (512K effectively allocated to each chip). An 8MB L3 cache backs the entire CPU cluster, and the CPU supports both DDR3 and DDR4.

AMD unveils its first ARM CPU, the 64-bit 8-core Opteron A1100
2014-01-29 15:55:10| Extremetech
AMD has finally taken the wraps off its upcoming 8-core ARM SoC, codenamed Seattle. Seattle (officially designated Opteron A1100) is a server-class clip, with four or eight 64-bit ARM Cortex-A57 cores. The part, which begins sampling in March, is aimed squarely at the low-power server market, where AMD hopes that the SoC's low cost (about one tenth the cost of competing Intel Xeon parts) can wrestle some market share from Chipzilla. Performance-wise, AMD only gives rough figures, but it appears that the top-end A1100 will be around 2.5x faster than AMD's current low-power Jaguar-based server chip (the Opteron X2150), while maintaining the same TDP.
AMD slows Opteron 6300 chips to match workloads

Vendors don't normally brag about slower products but Advanced Micro Devices is making an exception for its latest Opteron 6300 processors, which have a slower clock speed than their predecessors to reduce power consumption. Some AMD customers use its chips in highly virtualized systems, and those types of servers tend to max out their memory and I/O bandwidth before they can make use of all the CPU performance, said Suresh Gopalakrishnan, general manager of AMDs server division.
