Opteron is AMDs competitive challenges Intels Itanium processor. Unlike the current Itanium, Opteron design, the use of the x86 instruction set for 64-bit computing to provide a more seamless transition from 32 to 64 applications.

AMDs Opteron Model 846 is designed for four-processor and eight processor system. The Opteron Model 146 is for workstations and entry-level servers. AMD is critical and the clock rating, Intel Corporation, so as to show its implementation processor, regardless of the new 846 and 146 processors running at 2.0 GHz. Architectural differences between the companys approach, to do so to compare the clock, their products are meaningless.

The most advanced systems, the Opteron 846 lines, and now in North America for the original price of 3,199 US dollars per 1,000 shares. By contrast 3,692 US dollars each for Intels 32, the highest - the online X eonM P processor servers, and 4 for the Intel 227 US dollars each of the six four, the maximum - I t anium2 the Internet.
