It turns out that not only Intel, but AMD and now boasts 6-nuclear processors. According to Tech Report, a manufacturer of processors x86 № 2 recently, even showed these miracles of modern semiconductor technology its correspondents. According to them, they get the opportunity to become acquainted not only with the processors for 2-processor, but for 4-processor systems. All of the demo system to work under Windows Server 2008, but in the mode of virtualization are still installed Windows Server 2003, Linux RedHat and SLES 11 x64, even on each virtual machine worked 4 nucleus.
Remember that the CPU Opteron Istanbul built on 45 nm production methods and are compatible with Socket F, which makes it easy to upgrade existing systems. They have embedded controllers 2 memory-channel DDR2, 6 MB of cache L3, and maintain the system bus HyperTransport 3.0. As expected, they appear in the second half, but in 2010 AMD returns to the market Sao Paolo. Unlike Istanbul last memory will support DDR3.
