Quad-Core AMD Opteron processors AMD introduced the quad-core AMD Opteron (see Figure 3) in September of 2007. It included several innovations: • A new core microarchitecture - K8L (true quad-core on a single die) • Extensions to AMD64 instruction set - bit manipulation and SSE, SSE2, SSE3, and SSE4 • 128-bit FPU for improved floating point and graphics performance • AMD Smart Fetch Technology Support for DDR2 memory • Dedicated 64-KB L1 cache and 512-KB L2 cache for each core • 2-MB to 6-MB L3 cache shared among all cores • 65 nm silicon process technology • Enhanced AMD PowerNow! with Independent Dynamic Core Technology and Dual Dynamic Power Management • AMD-V™ with Rapid Virtualization Indexing Figure 3. The Socket F (1207) design supports Quad-Core AMD Opteron™ processors. 9
