List of AMD Opteron processors

Opteron is a central processing unit (CPU) family within the AMD64 line.

Designed by Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) for the server market, Opteron competed with Intel's Xeon.

For all Opterons, the first digit (the X) specifies the number of CPUs on the target machine: For Socket F and Socket AM2 Opterons, the second digit (the Z) represents the processor generation.

For all Opterons, the last two digits in the model number (the YY) indicate the clock rate (frequency) of a CPU, a higher number indicating a higher clock rate.

This speed indication is comparable to processors of the same generation if they have the same amount of cores.

Model number methodology for the AMD Opteron 4000 and 6000 Series processors.

The suffix HE or EE denotes a high-efficiency or energy-efficiency model with a lower thermal design power (TDP) than a standard Opteron.

The suffix SE denotes a top-of-the-line model with a higher TDP than a standard Opteron.
