About the AMD Opteron 148 CPU

The AMD Opteron 148 is an end-of-life 1-core (1-thread) processor built for the server CPU market. It launched in Q4 2003. It is part of AMD's Opteron lineup, which is based on the SledgeHammer microarchitecture. The Opteron 148 is compatible with AMD Socket 940 motherboards and is fabricated on a 130 nm manufacturing process.

Memory and Cache

In terms of cache, the Opteron 148 has multiple levels of cache. Its L1 cache, which is the smallest and fastest, is 128 KB in size, providing rapid access to crucial instructions. Its L2 cache, at 1 MB, is larger but slower than the L1.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The Opteron 148 is a single-core and single-threaded CPU, making it not capable of processing multiple computational tasks in parallel. The base clock speed of the CPU is 2.2 GHz. Higher clock speeds result in higher performance for the same microarchitecture. The multiplier is locked, making it incapable of overclocking for pushing performance further.

Integrated Graphics

The Opteron 148 does not include an integrated graphics solution. A dedicated graphics card will be required if you require a monitor with your computer.

About the AMD Opteron 180 CPU

The AMD Opteron 180 is an end-of-life 2-core (2-thread) processor built for the server CPU market. It launched in Q3 2005 with a suggested retail price of $799. It is part of AMD's Opteron X2 lineup, which is based on the Denmark microarchitecture. The Opteron 180 is compatible with AMD Socket 939 motherboards and is fabricated on a 90 nm manufacturing process.

Memory and Cache

The Opteron 180 supports DDR1 memory and features a dual-channel memory controller, allowing it to utilize 2 memory modules simultaneously. In terms of cache, the Opteron 180 has multiple levels of cache. Its L1 cache, which is the smallest and fastest, is 128 KB in size, providing rapid access to crucial instructions. Its L2 cache, at 1 MB, is larger but slower than the L1.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The Opteron 180 features 2 total cores which can process 2 threads simultaneously. The multi-threading capability allows the CPU to execute multiple computational tasks in parallel. The base clock speed of the CPU is 2.4 GHz. Higher clock speeds result in higher performance for the same microarchitecture. The multiplier is locked, making it incapable of overclocking for pushing performance further.

Integrated Graphics

The Opteron 180 does not include an integrated graphics solution. A dedicated graphics card will be required if you require a monitor with your computer.
