The AMD Opteron 2350 HE was a server/workstation processor with 4 cores, launched in October 2008, at an MSRP of $316. It is part of the Opteron lineup, using the Barcelona architecture with Socket Fr2. To further increase overall system performance, up to two Opteron 2350 HE CPUs can link up in a multi-processor (SMP) configuration. Opteron 2350 HE has 2 MB of L3 cache and operates at 2000 MHz. AMD is building the Opteron 2350 HE on a 65 nm production process using 463 million transistors. The multiplier is locked on Opteron 2350 HE, which limits its overclocking capabilities.
With a TDP of 79 W, the Opteron 2350 HE consumes typical power levels for a modern PC. AMD's processor supports DDR2 memory with a dual-channel interface. The highest officially supported memory speed is 667 MT/s, but with overclocking (and the right memory modules) you can go even higher. ECC memory is supported, too, which is an important capability for mission-critical systems, to avoid data corruption. Actual memory technology support depends on the chosen motherboard, the processor itself supports multiple memory types, but most motherboards have only one kind of slot. This processor lacks integrated graphics, you might need a graphics card.
Hardware virtualization is available on the Opteron 2350 HE, which greatly improves virtual machine performance.
