The Challenge

AMD proposes a live dual-core duel in 2005 - a public performance evaluation between server platforms based on the highest-performing Dual-Core AMD Opteron™ 800 Series or 200 Series processors and the corresponding Intel x86 server processors that are commercially available in volume.

AMD is proud to offer a true dual-core computing solution for x86 servers and workstations - the Dual-Core AMD Opteron™ processor.

Visit this web site regularly over the coming months for additional details on the duel, including an online petition to be launched in early September, where visitors will have the opportunity to voice their support for the dual-core duel.



The Champ

With the AMD64 platform, we established our leadership in 64-bit computing. Now we are proud to be leading the computing industry in dual-core x86 server computing.

We designed the AMD Opteron processor and our entire family of AMD64 processors for multiple cores. We knew that multiple cores would be the next evolutionary step in high-performance computing.

The future of dual-core computing is here today. And you’ll find the best performing solution with AMD and our revolutionary Direct Connect Architecture.


Multi-Core Advantages
Improved system performance for computers running multiple applications
Enhanced performance for multi-threaded applications
Support for more users or tasks for transaction-intensive applications

AMD’s Revolutionary Direct Connect Architecture
Addresses and helps reduce the real challenges and bottlenecks of system architecture because everything is directly connected to the CPU
Directly connects the processor cores in a single die to even further reduce latencies between processors


Industry-Leading Performance

The Dual-Core AMD Opteron processor provides leading-edge performance for x86 servers and workstations. It has won every major industry-standard benchmark for x86 servers it has competed for since its introduction in April 2005.


Highest Performance Per Watt

Experience the performance advantages of multi-core processors and get the best performance per watt available in the market. AMD PowerNow!™ technology can reduce CPU power at idle up to 75%.
