Summary
About the AMD Opteron 6281 CPU
The AMD Opteron 6281 is an end-of-life 16-core (16-thread) processor built for the server CPU market. It launched in Q2 2012 with a suggested retail price of $988. It is part of AMD's Opteron lineup, which is based on the Interlagos microarchitecture. The Opteron 6281 is compatible with AMD Socket G34 motherboards and is fabricated on GlobalFoundries's 32 nm manufacturing process.
Memory and Cache
The Opteron 6281 supports DDR3 memory and features a quad-channel memory controller, allowing it to utilize 4 memory modules simultaneously. In terms of cache, the Opteron 6281 has multiple levels of cache. Its L1 cache, which is the smallest and fastest, is 768 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 6281 features 16 total cores which can process 16 threads simultaneously. The multi-threading capability allows the CPU to execute multiple computational tasks in parallel. The base clock speed of the CPU is 2.5 GHz, and it can boost up to 3.2 GHz under heavy workloads. Higher clock speeds result in better performance for the same microarchitecture. The multiplier is locked, making it incapable of overclocking for pushing performance further.
Integrated Graphics
The Opteron 6281 does not include an integrated graphics solution. A dedicated graphics card will be required if you require a monitor with your computer.
