AMD Opteron processors 

The HP ProLiant DL585 G5 server supports up to four Quad-Core AMD Opteron 8300 Series 
processors. This native quad-core processor delivers the following benefits: 
• 

Outstanding performance  

The Quad-Core AMD Opteron processor is designed for optimal multi-threaded application 

performance. Its native quad-core implementation features four cores on a single die for more 
efficient data sharing, while the enhanced cache structure and integrated memory controller can 

sustain application throughput. This processor provides outstanding processing power and, together 

with its performance-per-watt enhancements, can improve IT responsiveness while maintaining data 

center costs. 

• 

Enhanced power efficiency 

Thanks to Enhanced AMD PowerNow!™ technology and the introduction of AMD CoolCore™ 

technology, Quad-Core AMD Opteron processors are very power-efficient, helping to reduce power 

needs and cooling costs in the data center.

• 

Optimal virtualization  

Featuring AMD Virtualization™ (AMD-V™) technology with nested paging acceleration, Quad-Core 

AMD Opteron processors can accelerate the performance of virtualized applications and improve 

efficiency when switching between virtual machines; as a result, customers can typically host more 
virtual machines and users per system, maximizing the consolidation and power-saving benefits of 

virtualization. 

• 

Investment protection  

By leveraging AMD’s Common Core Strategy and Same Socket Technology, Quad-Core AMD 

Opteron processors can minimize changes to the customer’s software and data center infrastructure, 
protecting IT investments and simplifying management.
