Summary
About the AMD Opteron 248 CPU
The AMD Opteron 248 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 248 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 248 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 248 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 248 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 8214 CPU
The AMD Opteron 8214 is an end-of-life 2-core (2-thread) processor built for the server CPU market. It launched in Q3 2006 with a suggested retail price of $1,165. It is part of AMD's Opteron lineup, which is based on the Santa Rosa microarchitecture. The Opteron 8214 is compatible with AMD Socket F motherboards and is fabricated on a 90 nm manufacturing process.
Memory and Cache
The Opteron 8214 supports DDR2 memory and features a dual-channel memory controller, allowing it to utilize 2 memory modules simultaneously. In terms of cache, the Opteron 8214 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 8214 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 2.2 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 8214 does not include an integrated graphics solution. A dedicated graphics card will be required if you require a monitor with your computer.
