Dell 6 Processors 6.1 Overview The AMD Opteron™ 6100, 6200, and 6300 series processors (G34) are designed specifically for highend server applications. The G34 processor features up to twelve-core processing to maximize performance and performance/watt for data center infrastructures and highly dense deployments. The G34 processor also features AMD Opteron micro-architecture and AMD64 architecture for flexibility in 64-bit and 32-bit applications and operating systems. The G34 processor uses a 1944-contact Organic Land Grid Array (OLGA) package that plugs into a surface mount socket (Socket-G34). The Dell™ PowerEdge™ M915 provides support for two and four G34 processors. Table 5.
