12 Dell PowerEdge C6145 Rack Server Technical Guide

Dell PowerEdge servers featuring AMD Opteron 6100, 6200, and 6300 series processors are

designed to handle the increasing complexity and demands of today’s real-world workloads. The

AMD Opteron 6100, 6200, and 6300 series processors deliver the world’s first x86 16-core

processor, delivering a rich mix of performance, scalability, and efficiency for today’s highly threaded

computing environments.

Processor features

Table 4 highlights the features of the AMD Opteron 6100, 6200, and 6300 series processors.

Feature Function Benefits

AMD-P 2.0

Advanced

Platform

Management Link

(APML)

Provides an interface for

processor and systems

management monitoring

and controlling of system

resources (in APML-

enabled

platforms); c

omprised of the

Remote Power Management

Interface (RPMI) and the

precision thermal monitor.

RPMI in APML enabled platforms:

x Ability to monitor and control platform

power consumption through p-

state limits

x Access to processor identification and

health

Precision thermal monitor:

x Provides accurate information about

processor thermals to closely monitor

power/cooling and proactively alert the

BMC

Early notification helps save time and money

by providing intell

igence that can be used to

more effectively monitor power and

thermals to optimize coolin

g solutions in an

IT data center

Link Width

PowerCap

Power efficiency capability

(manually enabled thru

BIOS) that changes all 16-

bit

links to 8-bit links

Helps improve performance-per-watt

AMD CoolSpeed

Technology

Reduces p-states when a

temperature limit is reached

x Server can continue to operate if processor’s

thermal environment exceeds safe

operational limits

Offers platform providers the ability to safely

reduce system fan speeds, which helps

deliver greater platform efficiency

C1E

An active sleep state invoked

when all processor cores are

idle

Delivers

additional power savings (up to 10W for

2-processor servers) depending on system

configuration, such as when the Northbridge

and HyperTransport technology links are

powered down and cores are at idle

LV-

DDR3 support

Lower memory voltage of

1.35V versus standard

voltage memory of 1.5V

Helps reduce overall memory power

consumption

Ultra-

low power

platform

Specialized ultra-

low power

platforms are great for

cloud/dense environments

Cooperative designs for specialized and

ultra-low power platform provide power

efficiency beyond just the processor
