Summary
About the AMD Opteron 6308 CPU
The AMD Opteron 6308 is an end-of-life 4-core (4-thread) processor built for the server CPU market. It launched in Q4 2012 with a suggested retail price of $501. It is part of AMD's Opteron lineup, which is based on the Abu Dhabi microarchitecture. The Opteron 6308 is compatible with AMD Socket G34 motherboards and is fabricated on GlobalFoundries's 32 nm manufacturing process.
Memory and Cache
The Opteron 6308 supports DDR3 memory and features a quad-channel memory controller, allowing it to utilize 4 memory modules simultaneously. In terms of cache, the Opteron 6308 has multiple levels of cache. Its L1 cache, which is the smallest and fastest, is 192 KB in size, providing rapid access to crucial instructions. Its L2 cache, at 2 MB, is larger but slower than the L1. Its L3 cache, a shared resource among the CPU's cores, has a capacity of 8 MB.
Cores and Clock Speeds
The Opteron 6308 features 4 total cores which can process 4 threads simultaneously. The multi-threading capability allows the CPU to execute multiple computational tasks in parallel. The base clock speed of the CPU is 3.5 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 6308 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 2347 HE CPU
The AMD Opteron 2347 HE is an end-of-life 4-core (4-thread) processor built for the server CPU market. It launched in Q3 2007 with a suggested retail price of $377. It is part of AMD's Opteron lineup, which is based on the Barcelona microarchitecture. The Opteron 2347 HE is compatible with AMD Socket Fr2 motherboards and is fabricated on a 65 nm manufacturing process.
Memory and Cache
The Opteron 2347 HE supports DDR2 memory and features a dual-channel memory controller, allowing it to utilize 2 memory modules simultaneously. In terms of cache, the Opteron 2347 HE has multiple levels of cache. Its L1 cache, which is the smallest and fastest, is 64 KB in size, providing rapid access to crucial instructions. Its L2 cache, at 512 KB, is larger but slower than the L1. Its L3 cache, a shared resource among the CPU's cores, has a capacity of 2 MB.
Cores and Clock Speeds
The Opteron 2347 HE features 4 total cores which can process 4 threads simultaneously. The multi-threading capability allows the CPU to execute multiple computational tasks in parallel.
