Summary
About the Intel Xeon W3690 CPU
The Intel Xeon W3690 is an end-of-life 6-core (12-thread) processor built for the server CPU market. It launched in Q1 2011. It is part of Intel's Xeon lineup, which is based on the Gulftown microarchitecture. The W3690 is compatible with Intel Socket 1366 motherboards and is fabricated on Intel's 32 nm manufacturing process.
Memory and Cache
The Xeon W3690 supports DDR3 memory and features a triple-channel memory controller, allowing it to utilize 3 memory modules simultaneously. In terms of cache, the Xeon W3690 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 256 KB, is larger but slower than the L1. Its L3 cache, a shared resource among the CPU's cores, has a capacity of 12 MB.
Cores and Clock Speeds
The Xeon W3690 features 6 total cores which can process 12 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, and it can boost up to 3.7 GHz under heavy workloads. Higher clock speeds result in better performance for the same microarchitecture. The multiplier is unlocked, enabling overclocking for those seeking to push the CPU's performance further.
Integrated Graphics
The Xeon W3690 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 CPU
The AMD Opteron 2347 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 $316. It is part of AMD's Opteron lineup, which is based on the Barcelona microarchitecture. The Opteron 2347 is compatible with AMD Socket Fr2 motherboards and is fabricated on a 65 nm manufacturing process.
Memory and Cache
The Opteron 2347 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 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 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 1900.0 MHz. 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 2347 does not include an integrated graphics solution. A dedicated graphics card will be required if you require a monitor with your computer.
