AMD Opteron 2358 SE (B3)

The AMD Opteron 2358 SE (B3) is an end-of-life 4-core (4-thread) processor built for the server CPU market. It launched in Q2 2008 with a suggested retail price of $873. It is part of AMD's Opteron lineup, which is based on the Barcelona microarchitecture. The Opteron 2358 SE is compatible with AMD Socket Fr2 motherboards and is fabricated on a 65 nm manufacturing process.

Memory and Cache

The Opteron 2358 SE supports DDR2 memory and features a dual-channel memory controller, allowing it to utilize 2 memory modules simultaneously. In terms of cache, the Opteron 2358 SE 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 2358 SE 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 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 2358 SE does not include an integrated graphics solution. A dedicated graphics card will be required if you require a monitor with your computer.
