AMD Launches Piledriver-Based 12 and 16-Core Opteron 6300 Family

MojoKid writes "AMD's new Piledriver-based Opterons are launching today, completing a product refresh that the company began last spring with its Trinity APUs. The new 12 & 16-core Piledriver parts are debuting as the Opteron 6300 series. AMD predicts performance increases of about 8% in integer and floating-point operations. With this round of CPUs, AMD has split its clock speed Turbo range into 'Max' and 'Max All Cores.' The AMD Opteron 6380, for example, is a 2.5GHz CPU with a Max Turbo speed of 3.4GHz and a 2.8GHz Max All Cores Turbo speed."

Re:Is this going to save AMD ?

AMD have been dying for 20 years now, its just fashionable for you followers to talk about it more in recent months.

They will probably die the year of the Linux Desktop.
