AMD Launches First 45nm Shanghai CPUs

arcticstoat writes "The wait for AMD's next-gen CPUs is finally over., as the company has now officially launched its first 45nm 'Shanghai' Opteron chips for servers and workstations. 'AMD's move to a 45nm process relies on immersion lithography, where a refractive fluid fills the gap between the lens and the wafer, which AMD says will result in 'dramatic performance and performance-per-watt gains.' It's also enabled AMD to increase the maximum clock speed of the Opterons from 2.3GHz with the Barcelona core to 2.7GHz with the Shanghai core. Shanghai chips also feature more cache than their predecessors, with 6MB of Level 3 cache bumping the total up to 8MB, and the chips share the same cache architecture as Barcelona CPUs, with a shared pool of Level 3 cache and an individual allocation of Level 2 cache for each core.

Shanghai looking good for AMD

While it still hasn't officially launched yet, AMD's upcoming 45-nm Shanghai CPU for servers is already gettingpositive reviews from system integrators (SIs). The processor has shipped in limited quantities ahead of schedule, giving SIs an opportunity to test the processor. The CPU reportedly offers a performance improvement of up to 35% over Barcelona, while consuming 30% less power thanks to its smaller manufacturing process. "I can see the AMD percentage of our sales increasing dramatically with Shanghai," said Philip Pokorny, chief hardware architect for Penguin Computing (Fremont, Calif.) an integrator focused on the HPC market. "Before Barcelona our business was 70 percent AMD processors and 30 percent Intel, but there was a reversal and now I am hoping we get to parity," he said, speaking at a panel of integrators gathered here by
