Opteron 165: when will warehouses run out of 'em?
In article , Cal Vanize says...
You might be thinking of the original series of Opteron socket 940
chips. These were designed for servers. The current batch of Denmark
and Venus Socket 939 Opterons are high-performance workstation or client
CPUs. They are of similar design to the San Diego Athlon 64s and Athlon
X2 Toledos but seem to run at slightly lower voltages and easily overclock.
The Opteron 165 is of particular interest because it is a 2 x 1mb cache
dual core CPU that can be very easily overclocked to 2.7ghz. The
165's price is lower than the entry Athlon X2 CPU with the same cache
though the 165 has a lower clock speed. But if it can be easily oc'ed
to a fast speed, its basic clock speed doesn't matter much.
I stand corrected. Jeez, its getting hard to keep up with all the cores
nowadays.
