AMD adds horsepower to server processors with new 16-core chip

Advanced Micro Devices said Monday that it has added more horsepower to its chip lineup with new 16-core Opteron server chips based on the Bulldozer microarchitecture. The new 16-core Opteron 6284SE chip will come with a clock speed of up to 2.7GHz, which is faster than the prior 6200 series that maxed out at 2.6GHz. The chip is faster but draws the same amount of power than comparable Opteron 6200 series chips, said Michael Detwiler, product marketing manager at AMD.
