AMD announced a new Opteron processor today, targeted at server environments and applications. The six-core chip will operate at 40 watts, making it perfect for areas where low heat is especially important. The Opteron EE is based on the Istanbul architecture, and will be able to replace current four-core chips based on the Shanghai architecture. The new chips will allow for greater efficiency over previous models, and could also reduce electric and cooling costs. The chips are designed to compete with the Intel 7400 series Xeon processors, which were released about a year ago.
