AMD widens the Opteron family with Socket G34
Written by Andreas G 29 April 2009 19:21

AMD recently revealed its plans for the server market and we among others learned that that it will launch an Opteron family called Interlagos. These processors will be made at the 32nm node and house up to 16 processor cores in the same chip. Just like the precursor Magny-Cours, Interlagos will be used by AMD's new Maranello platform and the new Socket G34, Maranello supports 2-4 processors.

With a beefy quad-memory bus at 288-bit and an integrated PCI Express controller, on top of the 8 to 16 processor cores, the two Opteron families Magny-Cours and Interlagos will be some truly big chips.

They will be so big that AMD will launch the first asymmetric processor socket on the market. The processor and the socket is consider wider than than it is higher, so it's not just the TV market that is moving toward wider formats.

The exact measurements of AMD's Socket G34 were not revealed, but at BSN they have published a picture of a Socket G34 Opteron CPU.


Socket F. vs Socket G34 - The proportions may be skewed, Socket G34 is overall larger than Socket F

AMD has promised to launch its Maranello platform next year already and recently showed a fully functioning 48 core Maranello system. It used four dodeca core Magny-Cours processors that will launch under the AMD Opteron 6000 brand next year.
