AMD Opteron™ 6200 Series Processor What’s new in the AMD Opteron™ 6200 Series Processor (Codenamed “Interlagos”) and the new “Bulldozer” Microarchitecture Performance, scalability, and efficiency for today’s applications. Platform Processor Socket Chipset Opteron 6000 Opteron 6200 G34 56x0 / 5100 (codenamed “Maranello”) (codenamed “Interlagos") (with BIOS update) In their first microarchitecture rebuild since Opteron, AMD introduces the Bulldozer module, implemented in both the Opteron 4200 and 6200 Series. The modules are engineered to emphasize throughput, core count, and parallel server workloads. A module consists of two tightly coupled cores, in which some core resources are shared. The effect is between a core with two threads and a dual-core processor, in which each core is fully independent. More about Bulldozer modules begins on page 3.
