AMD provides a quick reference guide detailing each processor part number by the following: Manufacturing - HP ProLiant DL288 | AMD Opteron™ and Intel® Xeon® x8 - Page 3
number of cores, that implements an instruction set. AMD and Intel constantly increase Xeon 5500, 5600, and 7500 series processors support some or all of the following technologies: and 2P ProLiant servers We use Xeon 5500 and 5600 series processors in HP ProLiant 100 and 300 series servers. The Xeon - HP ProLiant DL288 | AMD Opteron™ and Intel® Xeon® x8 - Page 4
select MP ProLiant G7 servers. These processors have four, six, or eight cores. Each processor contains a four-channel integrated memory controller. It has 64 KB L1 and 256 KB L2 caches for each core and a shared L3 cache of up to 18 MB. The processors use scalable memory buffers that support up to - HP ProLiant DL288 | AMD Opteron™ and Intel® Xeon® x8 - Page 5
reliability, availability, and serviceability (RAS) features. The Xeon 7500 series processors also come with Intel Machine Check Architecture Recovery. Figure 2.

with 8 and 12 cores in our 2P and 4P ProLiant servers. AMD produces the AMD Opteron 6100 series processor with a supports up to three DDR3 DIMMs per channel at 1333 MT/s-and four Hyper Transport 3.0 links. (See "I/O architecture") Each core has an L1 Cache (64 KB for data and 64 KB for instructions - HP ProLiant DL288 | AMD Opteron™ and Intel® Xeon® x8 - Page 7
to allow addressing to 36 bits. This gives a maximum of 64 GB of physical addressable memory. AMD Opteron and Xeon processors support 32-bit addressing and the 36-bit PAE. As shown in Table 3, the 32-bit instruction set for both the Xeon and AMD Opteron family processors includes: Standard x86 - HP ProLiant DL288 | AMD Opteron™ and Intel® Xeon® x8 - Page 8
bit SIMD floating-point operations. SSE2 adds 64-bit parallel floating-point numeric support. It also adds new instructions to support 128-bit SIMD integer operations. SSE3 instructions include 13 instructions that accelerate performance of SSE technology, SSE2 technology and x87-floating-point math - HP ProLiant DL288 | AMD Opteron™ and Intel® Xeon® x8 - Page 9
AMD HyperTransport 3.0 technology The HT3 interconnect consists of two uni-directional links. Each 16-bit (2-byte) link performs two data transfers per clock cycle (double-pumped) with a maximum transfer rate of 6.4 gigatransfers per second (GT/s). This gives each uni-directional link a maximum data - HP ProLiant DL288 | AMD Opteron™ and Intel® Xeon® x8 - Page 10
theoretical bandwidth of 25.6 GB/s. The QPI's Reliability, Availability, and Serviceability (RAS) features include self-healing links and clock failover. Each 20- of inactive QPI links. ProLiant G6 and G7 servers enable this feature by default. You can change it through the HP ROM-Based Setup Utility - HP ProLiant DL288 | AMD Opteron™ and Intel® Xeon® x8 - Page 11
supports processor C-states C0, C1, C3, and C6. C0 represents a fully active core one executing instructions. part. Using a systems management device such as HP Integrated Lights-Out (iLO), you can remotely a server to continue operating. Cool Speed is enabled by default, and it is not a user option. - HP ProLiant DL288 | AMD Opteron™ and Intel® Xeon® x8 - Page 12
HP Insight Control (ICE) management suite. Virtualization In a virtual machine (VM) environment, a software layer known as the hypervisor makes it appear that each guest OS has full control over the server software virtualization overhead. It introduces hardware support for a second (nested) level of - HP ProLiant DL288 | AMD Opteron™ and Intel® Xeon® x8 - Page 13
