AMD today announced three leading vendors attending Computex Taipei are unveiling their server platforms demonstrating the industry’s first native x86 quad-core solution, Quad-Core AMD Opteron processors (codenamed “Barcelona”). “Barcelona” processors are expected to deliver up to 50 to 80 percent performance and performance-per-watt improvements on a broad range of server applications over similar current generation AMD Opteron processors. In addition, these quad-core processors are designed to be drop-in compatible (following a BIOS upgrade) with all existing AMD Opteron processor-based systems using low-power DDR2 memory, while also enabling new platform capabilities such as those being demonstrated today.
Jetway M28GT3-SDG comes with a powerful Integrated Geforce 7025 GFX Core graphics chipset and supports Socket AM2 64-bit dual core and AMD Athlon 64 X2 processor. This motherboard supports HyperTransport technology that can increase overall system performance by removing I/O bottlenecks, increasing system bandwidth, and reducing system latency.
