AMD · Opteron · 2010 · Socket G34
The AMD Opteron 6164 HE is a server processor with 12 cores, released in 2010 at an MSRP of $744. It is part of the Opteron lineup, using the Opteron 6100 platform, and fits the Socket G34 socket. Internally, it is built on the "K10" architecture. It operates at a fixed 1.7 GHz. AMD manufactures the "K10" silicon on a 45nm process node. This processor supports DDR3 memory across 4 channels, with ECC support standard for data integrity in server workloads. It supports both single-socket (1P) and dual-socket (2P) configurations. With a TDP of 85W, the Opteron 6164 HE sits in a typical power envelope for a modern desktop CPU. The cache hierarchy consists of 128KB/core of L1, 512KB/core of L2, and 12MB of L3 cache.
12-core K10 Opteron (Magny-Cours) at 1.7GHz on Socket G34, launched March 2010. Magny-Cours packages two dies in one multi-chip module on Socket G34, reaching up to 12 cores with four DDR3 memory channels. It targets high-performance two- and four-socket servers. The HE (high-efficiency) bin trades clock headroom for a lower 85W TDP.
