The AMD Opteron 250 HE was a server/workstation processor with 1 core, launched in March 2005. It is part of the Opteron lineup, using the Troy (E4) architecture with Socket 940. To further increase overall system performance, up to two Opteron 250 HE CPUs can work together in a multi-processor (SMP) configuration. Opteron 250 HE has 1 MB of L2 cache and operates at 2.4 GHz. AMD is making the Opteron 250 HE on a 90 nm production node using 106 million transistors. The multiplier is locked on Opteron 250 HE, which limits its overclocking potential.
With a TDP of 55 W, the Opteron 250 HE consumes typical power levels for a modern PC. For communication with other components in the system, Opteron 250 HE uses a PCI-Express Gen 2 connection. This processor lacks integrated graphics, you might need a graphics card.
The SSE4 instruction set is not supported, which can cause problems with modern games, as they require that capability.
