AMD Opteron 6200 Series Processors
AMD Opteron 6200 series processors feature the following:
The processor frequency drops to 500MT/s when the system is idle to reduce power
consumption.
Application Power Management: The Thermal Design Power (TDP) of the processor denotes
its power consumption. This feature optimizes system power consumption.
Performance Monitoring Counters: The Northbridge P-states (performance states) allow more
users to access the performance monitor counters at the same time. This feature reduces
power consumption and optimizes performance within the specified TDP.
Low Voltage Memory Modules (DDR3L DIMMs): The Opteron 6200 series processors support
DDR3L DIMMs at a lower operating voltage of 1.35V.
Support for AMD Turbo Core technology.

AMD Opteron 6300 Series Processors
AMD Opteron 6300 series processors feature the following:
Improved TCO with higher performance, better performance/watt and better
price/performance than the previous generation
Enhanced power efficiency, running applications faster with the same power budget
Improved performance and performance/watt (compared to prior generations) for multi-
threaded environments like virtualization, database and web serving
Reduced power costs at low usage
Investment protection from leveraging current socket platform
Ideal for servers needing performance and scalability, like application and database servers in
the cloud, large virtualization and HPC
