AMD stops production of Socket 939 Opterons


Aegis

Recommended Posts

THE LAUNCH of Opterons for Socket 939 was obviously just a smoke in the mirror. The complete stock of Opterons model number 14x and 16x (dual-core) dissapeared from e-tailers and retailers, with hundreds of overclockers buying even six or eight CPU's at the same time. Reason: Opteron, a 1MB L2 cache processor was priced lower than Athlon 64 models with 512KB of L2 cache. Also, those Opteron babies were bad-boys when it comes to cooling, working at 2.7-2.9 GHz with air-cooling - at zero problems, with a lower operating temperature than default-clocked Pentium D 840.

I had one, 0540 stepping, it was second of best ocers. Ran 3030Mhz completely stable, that's more than unrealesed fx-59 by 30Mhz + had memory running at ddr606 with VERY TIGHT tmings (Did Super PI 1M calc very close to 26sec.) I managed to take suicide screen at 3300MHz and ran many benchmarks ot 3150Mhz. I was so ready to put that cpu under dry ice at -79C. Hell, cpu died week ago, R.I.P :realmad:

AMD is p***in me off, they don't want sell good stuff, they'll probably be crying when iintel will release 65mn cpus and yohans cpu with shorter pipelines that will have potential and amd will be still stuck with dell crap and not wanting to ship reasonable amounts of cpus to retailers.

damnit and I was saving up for a socket 939 CABYNE opteron,..looks like I won't be getting one anymore :realmad:

they need to stop jerking the market around like this or pretty soon the market will jerk back.

You guys need to chill. There are going to be some great products coming from AMD and they have to make money dont they? They need to launch more expensive stuff which is quite fine by me. You have to understnad they are not in the market for pleasing people by selling parts that oclock like crazy for cheap...

AMD Opteron 100 Series Features and Benifits

The AMD Opteron processor 100 Series is for use in 1-way servers and workstations. One-way servers are commonly used by Internet and application service providers (ISPs/ASPs), eBusiness and data center customers for edge-of-the-network workloads such as DNS servers, DHCP servers, security encryption as well as in network attached storage (NAS) and storage area network (SAN) devices. The 100 Series is also ideal for intensive workstation applications like engineering, CAD, DCC and software development.

AMD Opteron™ Processor for Servers and Workstations

The AMD Opteron™ processor, enabling simultaneous 32- and 64-bit computing, represents the landmark introduction of the AMD64 architecture. The AMD Opteron processor is designed to run existing 32-bit applications with outstanding performance and offers customers a simplified migration path to 64-bit computing. This evolutionary processor provides a dramatic leap forward in compatibility, performance, investment protection, and reduced total cost of ownership (TCO).

The AMD Opteron processor integrates key system elements:

AMD Opteron™ Processor Benefits

The AMD Opteron processor provides a highly scalable architecture that delivers next-generation performance as well as a flexible upgrade path from 32- to 64-bit computing. With a single architecture designed to meet current and future business needs, the AMD Opteron processor can help to minimize the integration complexities presented by business environments today and in the future.

Features and Benefits

Simultaneous 32- and 64-bit computing capabilities

Allows users to run 32-bit and/or 64-bit applications and operating systems as they desire—without sacrificing performance

Support of up to three (3) coherent HyperTransport links, providing up to 19.2GB/s peak bandwidth per processor

Provides substantial I/O bandwidth for your current and future application needs

256 Terabytes of memory address space

Creates a significant performance benefit for applications in which large (or many) datasets are held in memory

Allows for maximum flexibility in IT infrastructure, helping contribute to bottom line success

Yields fast computational processing for increased performance and productivity

Putting the AMD Opteron™ processor to work

Usage segments for the processor include:

# Worldwide Enterprises, Small-Medium Businesses, and Government/Education Institutions

# Companies who require faster database transactions, or support for more users on e-commerce type applications

# Customers needing quick graphics response such as CAD and DCC

# Industries with computational intensive tasks for financial modeling and scientific applications Specifications

That's prohibitively expensive. I minus will get an Athlon 64 FX55 if that costs almost $800. :realmad:
