New System Features With Opteron 4200 Series
Processors
•
Application Power Management — The Thermal Design Power (TDP) of the
processor denotes its power consumption. This feature optimizes system
power consumption.
•
Turbo CORE /Core Performance Boost — Boosts all core frequencies when
additional TDP is available in a given workload. With lightly threaded
workloads, half the processor cores enter C6 sleep state thereby enabling
higher speeds.
•
The processor frequency drops to 500 MHz when the system is idle to reduce
power consumption.
•
Performance Monitoring Counters — The Northbridge P-States (performance
states) allows more users to access the performance monitor counters at the
same time. This feature reduces power consumption and optimizes
performance within the specified TDP.
•
System Memory:
–
Low Voltage Memory Modules (DDR3L DIMMs) — The Opteron 4200
series processors support DDR3L DIMMs at a lower operating voltage of
1.35 V.
NOTE:
BIOS setup options allow you to control frequency and voltage
configurations within allowable limits.
–
Memory Speed — DIMM speeds up to 1600 MHz is supported. If
memory modules with different speeds are installed, they will operate at
the speed of the slowest installed memory module(s).
