DellPowerEdge M915 Technical Guide 246.3 AMD Opteron 6200 Series ProcessorsAMD Opteron 6200 series processors feature the following: The processor frequency drops to 500MT/s when the system is idle to reduce powerconsumption. Application Power Management: The Thermal Design Power (TDP) of the processor denotesits power consumption. This feature optimizes system power consumption. Performance Monitoring Counters: The Northbridge P-states (performance states) allow moreusers to access the performance monitor counters at the same time. This feature reducespower consumption and optimizes performance within the specified TDP. Low Voltage Memory Modules (DDR3L DIMMs): The Opteron 6200 series processors supportDDR3L DIMMs at a lower operating voltage of 1.35V. Support for AMD Turbo Core technology.6.4 AMD Opteron 6300 Series ProcessorsAMD Opteron 6300 series processors feature the following: Improved TCO with higher performance, better performance/watt and betterprice/performance than the previous generation Enhanced power efficiency, running applications faster with the same power budget Improved performance and performance/watt (compared to prior generations) for multi-threaded environments like virtualization, database and web serving Reduced power costs at low usage Investment protection from leveraging current socket platform Ideal for servers needing performance and scalability, like application and database servers inthe cloud, large virtualization and HPC 1/2/4 socket support 4, 8, 12, 16 cores 4 memory channels6.5 Supported ProcessorsFor the latest information on supported processors for the PowerEdge M915, visit Dell.com.Supported AMD Opteron 6100 Series ProcessorsTable 6.Model Speed Power Cache Cores6180SE 2.5GHz 140W 12MB 126176 2.3GHz 115W 12MB 126174 2.2GHz 115W 12MB 126172 2.1GHz 115W 12MB 126168 1.9GHz 115W 12MB 126166HE 1.8GHz 85W 12MB 126164HE 1.7GHz 85W 12MB 126140 2.6GHz 115W 12MB 8
