15 AMD Server & Workstation Processor Roadmap Athens 90nm SOI, Full & Low Power 800 Series, 1-8 way Egypt 90nm SOI AMD Opteron 130nm SOI, 1-8 way Troy 90nm SOI, Full & Low Power 200 Series, 1-2 way Italy 90nm SOI AMD Athlon MP 130nm, 1-2 way Venus 90nm SOI, Full & Low Power 100 Series, 1 way Denmark 90nm SOI As Market Requires 2H03 1H04 2H04 1H05 2H05 The AMD64 Technology 15

16 Low Power Processors Branding & Positioning Low Power Branding: 55watt = HE (Highly Efficient) 30watt = EE (Energy Efficient) Example: AMD Opteron processor Model 246 HE Example: AMD Opteron processor Model 140 EE Positioning AMD Opteron Processor HE (55 watt) Industry-leading performance per watt Ideal for rack-dense (1U/2P, 2U/4P) servers or blades in datacenter environments and cooler, quieter workstation designs AMD Opteron Processor EE (30 watt) Maximum I/O bandwidth currently available in a single-cpu controller Ideal for embedded controllers in markets such as NAS and SAN Each low power AMD Opteron processor offers equivalent performance to the full power AMD Opteron processor with the same model number. The consistent 940-pin design of AMD Opteron processors HE and EE allows for compatibility with existing infrastructure used for full power AMD Opteron processors The AMD64 Technology 16

17 Comparison High-end 2P System AMD Opteron TM Processor-based Workstation Intel Itanium 2 Processor-based Workstation HyperTransport Bus has ample Bandwidth for I/O Devices DDR 128-bit AGP AGP AMD AMD Opteron Opteron Processor Processor HyperTransport Buses for Glueless I/O or CPU Expansion AMD AMD Opteron Opteron Processor Processor Memory Capacity and Bandwidth scales w/ Number of Processors Memory Access Delayed By Passing Through MCH DDR Intel Intel Itanium 2 Itanium 2 Processor Processor Memory Memory && I/O I/O Ctrl Ctrl Hub Hub Intel Intel Itanium 2 Itanium 2 Processor Processor Dead! Second Processor Competes for FSB Bus Bandwidth I/O, Memory & Graphics share FSB Separate Memory and I/O Paths Reduce Bus Contention PCI-X IDE, FDC, USB, Etc. PCI-X PCI-X Bridge Bridge I/O I/O Hub PCI PCI-X PCI-X Bridge Bridge Integrated DDR Memory Hub Controller Reduces Latency Dedicated Path from Memory to Processor Memory bandwidth scales as processors are added No need for larger caches HyperTransport TM Technology 6.4 GB/s: sufficient bandwidth for supporting new and Existing interconnects: Fibre Channel, GbE, PCI-X, PCI-X 2.0, S-ATA, Serial Attached SCSI, 10GE, More Chips Needed for Basic Workstation 4 x AGP PCI-X PCI-X Bridge Bridge PCI-X PCI-X Bridge Bridge AGP AGP PCI-X PCI-X Bridge Bridge I/O I/O Hub Hub I/O I/O Hub Hub Core I/O, LAN, SCSI Core I/O, LAN, SCSI Northbridge -style Memory Controller via FSB Delays Memory reads Processors compete for FSB bandwidth Memory, Graphics and I/O must share FSB bandwidth Proprietary Hub I/O Buses Memory & I/O controller hub bandwidth limits graphics capabilities to 4 x AGP More chips at additional cost The AMD64 Technology 17
