HP Introduces Dual-core Servers

HP (www.hp.com) today introduced new additions to its server lineup powered by the industry's first x86 dual-core processors, which can boost certain enterprise application performance by nearly 75 percent.

Using AMD's new Dual-Core AMD Opteron? processor, the new server blade - the HP ProLiant BL45p for the HP BladeSystem - and the dual-core HP ProLiant DL585 redefine four-processor performance and price-to-performance ratios with benchmarks that continue HP's leadership across a broad set of applications.

As the No. 1 vendor of industry-standard x86 servers worldwide and the leading provider of AMD Opteron processor-based server systems,(3) HP is positioned to drive the adoption of dual-core technology.

"DreamWorks has a very strategic relationship with HP and we were excited to see the HP ProLiant server family introduce Dual-Core AMD Opteron processor technology from AMD," said Ed Leonard, chief technology officer, DreamWorks Animation SKG.

From the beginning, AMD has talked about how they were going to bring dual core to the K8 architecture. The on-die north bridge, a part of every Athlon 64 and Opteron CPU, was designed from the ground up to be able to support multiple cores. AMD had designed their first dual core K8 CPUs years ago. They were simply waiting for manufacturing processes to mature in order to actually make producing such a chip a feasible endeavor.

Even Intel will admit that the architecture of the Pentium D is not the most desirable as is two Pentium 4 cores literally glued together. The two cores can barely be managed independently from a power consumption standpoint (they still share the same voltage and must run in the same power state) and all communication between cores must go over the external FSB.

It will interesting when they design a dual core TO BE a dual core fromthe ground up.

...AMD dual core is a ground up concept/design..rather then a cut/paste hobble job from intel.
