AMD · Opteron · 2007 · Socket AM2
The AMD Opteron 1218 HE is a server processor with 2 cores, released in 2007 at an MSRP of $432. It is part of the Opteron lineup, using the Opteron 1200 platform, and fits the Socket AM2 socket. Internally, it is built on the "K8" architecture. It operates at a fixed 2.6 GHz. AMD manufactures the "K8" silicon on a 90nm process node. This processor supports DDR2 memory across 2 channels, with ECC support standard for data integrity in server workloads. It supports single-socket (1P) configurations. With a TDP of 65W, the Opteron 1218 HE is an efficient chip suitable for modest cooling solutions. The cache hierarchy consists of 128KB/core of L1 and 1MB/core of L2 cache. There is no L3 cache on this processor.
2-core K8 Opteron (Santa Ana) at 2.6GHz on Socket AM2, launched February 2007. Santa Ana (revision F K8) moved single-socket Opterons to Socket AM2 with DDR2 memory and AMD-V hardware virtualisation. It is limited to single-socket systems. The HE (high-efficiency) bin trades clock headroom for a lower 65W TDP.
