The AMD Opteron 4376 HE is a server/workstation processor with 8 cores, launched in December 2012. It is part of the Opteron lineup, using the Seoul architecture with Socket C32. To further increase overall system performance, up to two Opteron 4376 HE CPUs can link up in a multi-processor (SMP) configuration. Opteron 4376 HE has 8 MB of L3 cache and operates at 2.6 GHz by default, but can boost up to 3.6 GHz, depending on the workload. AMD is building the Opteron 4376 HE on a 32 nm production process using 1,200 million transistors. The multiplier is locked on Opteron 4376 HE, which limits its overclocking capabilities.
With a TDP of 65 W, the Opteron 4376 HE consumes typical power levels for a modern PC. AMD's processor supports DDR3 memory. This processor lacks integrated graphics, you might need a graphics card.
Hardware virtualization is available on the Opteron 4376 HE, which greatly improves virtual machine performance. Programs using Advanced Vector Extensions (AVX) will run on this processor, boosting performance for calculation-heavy applications.
