AMD Launches Piledriver-Based 12 and 16-Core Opteron 6300 Family

MojoKid writes "AMD's new Piledriver-based Opterons are launching today, completing a product refresh that the company began last spring with its Trinity APUs. The new 12 & 16-core Piledriver parts are debuting as the Opteron 6300 series. AMD predicts performance increases of about 8% in integer and floating-point operations. With this round of CPUs, AMD has split its clock speed Turbo range into 'Max' and 'Max All Cores.' The AMD Opteron 6380, for example, is a 2.5GHz CPU with a Max Turbo speed of 3.4GHz and a 2.8GHz Max All Cores Turbo speed."

You must be Chinese, otherwise you'd notice the 'less' where 'fewer' would be a better fit, but I digress - do you really feel this urge to make stupid remarks in public? Go get it out of your system, chop up some firewood or run a few miles, you'll feel better, trust me.
