MODEL- AMDOSA285CBBOX     VENDOR- A M D (Advanced Micro Devices)
    
FEATURES- Opteron Dual Core Server Processor 285
       64-bit, 2.6 GHz Dual Core Server Processor, Socket 940.
       Each core has separate L1/L2 cache hierarchies, as well as the 
        integrated memory controller, HyperTransport technology, AMD 
        PowerNow! technology, or AMD's Cool'n'Quiet technology.
       Dual-Core AMD Opteron processors can be inserted into existing 940-
        pin sockets that support 90nm products. 
       AMD64 processors were designed from the start to add a second core.
       Port already existed on crossbar/SRI.
       One die with 2 CPU cores, each core has its own 1MB L2 cache.
       A BIOS update is all that is necessary to get a compatible system up 
        and running with dual-core processors.
       The 2 CPU cores leverage the same memory and HyperTransport 
        technology resources available in single-core processors.
* X86-64 Technology
   The AMD x86-64 architecture is an AMD innovation that extends x86, the 
   industry's most widely supported instruction set, and is designed to 
   enable 64-bit computing while remaining compatible with the existing x86 
   software infrastructure and industry experience.
   AMD's 64-bit strategy allows the latest in processor innovation to work 
   smoothly with the existing installed base of 32-bit applications and 
   operating systems, while establishing an installed base of systems that 
   are 64-bit capable.
   AMD X86-64 Technology enables the industry to advance software 
   development on all fronts, with x86 compatibility, while providing the 
   capability of delivering 64-bit technology benefits.
* AMD HyperTransport Technology
   HyperTransport technology is a high-speed, low latency, point-to-point 
   link designed to increase the communication speed between integrated 
   circuits in computers, servers, embedded systems, and networking and 
   telecommunications equipment up to 48 times faster than some existing 
   technologies. 
   HyperTransport technology helps reduce the number of buses in a system, 
   which can reduce system bottlenecks and enable today's faster 
   microprocessors to use system memory more efficiently in high-end 
   multiprocessor systems. 
   HyperTransport technology is designed to: 
    - Provide significantly more bandwidth than current technologies.
    - Use low-latency responses and low pin counts 
    - Maintain compatibility with legacy PC buses while being extensible to 
      new SNA (Systems Network Architecture) buses. 
    - Appear transparent to operating systems and offer little impact on 
      peripheral drivers. 
* Integrated DDR DRAM
   As processor microarchitecture capabilities have advanced, one of the 
   greatest performance limitations has become the system architectures 
   ability to provide sufficient low-latency memory bandwidth to the 
   processor core. The AMD Athlon 64 processor and the AMD Opteron
   processor directly addresses this bottleneck by integrating a DDR memory 
   controller into the processor, revolutionizing the way x86-based 
   processors access main memory. By running at the processor s core 
   frequency, an integrated memory controller greatly increases bandwidth 
   directly available to the processor at significantly reduced latencies. 
   The performance-enhancing effect is even more dramatic within an AMD 
   Opteron multiprocessing environment, because each additional processor 
   has its own memory controller thereby scaling over all memory bandwidth. 
   Features of Integrated DDR DRAM Memory Controller:
   - Available memory bandwidth scales with the number of processors added.
   - 128-bit wide integrated DDR DRAM memory controller capable of 
     supporting up to eight (8) registered DDR DIMMs per processor.
   - Available memory bandwidth up to 5.3GB/s (with PC2700 memory) per 
     processor.
