<p>It really is a fantastic find!&nbsp; This allows you to match your underlying Cores per Socket with your multiple vCPU VMs!</p>
<p>The implications for Microsoft SQL Server licensing is dramatic!&nbsp; This could saves thousands very quickly.</p>
<p>Check it out over at <a href="http://www.yellow-bricks.com/2009/06/04/per-processor-licenses-for-your-application/" target="_blank">Yellow-Bricks</a> . </p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Thanks again Duncan! </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have been watching for AMD to launch this processor for some time.&nbsp; Looks like a great processor, can&#39;t wait for all the version in the second half of 2009.<br /><span id="more-53"></span>
<p>You can check out a good list of features and demo information from Neowin <a href="http://www.neowin.net/news/main/09/06/04/amd-releases-6-core-processor-named-opteron " target="_blank">here</a> . </p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Some bulletpoints taken from Neowin:</p>
<ul>
<li>HyperTransport <a href="http://www.neowin.net/news/main/09/06/04/amd-releases-6-core-processor-named-opteron#" target="undefined"><font style="color: #009600 ! important; font-family: Verdana,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-weight: 400; font-size: 12px; position: static" color="#009600"><span style="color: #009600 ! important; font-family: Verdana,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-weight: 400; font-size: 12px; position: static" class="kLink">Technology</span></font></a> Assist, which reduces cache probe traffic between processors, which can result in faster queries and increased performance for <a href="http://www.neowin.net/news/main/09/06/04/amd-releases-6-core-processor-named-opteron#" target="undefined"><font style="color: #009600 ! important; font-family: Verdana,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-weight: 400; font-size: 12px; position: static" color="#009600"><span style="color: #009600 ! important; font-family: Verdana,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-weight: 400; font-size: 12px; position: static" class="kLink">database</span></font></a>, virtualization, and compute intensive <a href="http://www.neowin.net/news/main/09/06/04/amd-releases-6-core-processor-named-opteron#" target="undefined"><font style="color: #009600 ! important; font-family: Verdana,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-weight: 400; font-size: 12px; position: static" color="#009600"><span style="color: #009600 ! important; font-family: Verdana,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-weight: 400; font-size: 12px; position: static" class="kLink">applications</span></font></a>. </li>
<li>HyperTransport 3.0 Technology, increases interconnect rate from 2GT/s to 4.8GT/s.</li>
<li>Integrated DDR2 DRAM Memory Controller, incorporates Memory RAS for increased fault tolerance to reduce system downtime and increase system reliability.</li>
<li>Independent Dynamic Core Technology, allows each core to vary its frequency, based on the specific needs of the application. <br />This allows for more precise power management to reduce energy consumption.</li>
<li>AMD CoolCore Technology, evaluates which parts of the system are needed to support currently running applications and can cut power to unused transistor areas to reduce power consumption and lower heat generation.</li>
<li>AMD Smart Fetch Technology, allows inactive cores to write contents of their L1 and L2 caches to the shared L3 cache and allow the inactive cores to enter a &quot;halt&quot; state and draw less power, reducing CPU power consumption.</li>
</ul>
