Product Information
The AMD Opteron 180 processor can give new energy to any system housing a socket 939 motherboard. A speedy yet low-power CPU, the AMD Opteron 180 2.4GHz dual-core processor provides plenty of bang for its buck. This AMD Opteron features two cores, a 2MB L2 cache, and many other features to power your system’s hardware performance, whether you’re using it for gaming, office software, or any other light computing. The AMD Opteron 180 processor is from the Denmark series of AMD CPUs. This AMD Opteron has two cores ready to control the computing capabilities of your system. Dual-core technology means that with the AMD Opteron 180 installed, your system will run as if there are two CPUs inside, which allows for parallel computing – software applications can get more work done in parallel, so your laptop will be completing tasks quicker. The AMD Opteron 180 features HyperTransport system bus, which replaces a front-side bus, and operates at 1GHz frequency. The system bus carries information between the CPU and memory controller hub. The 2.4GHz processor in the AMD Opteron 180 is speedy enough to handle most software tasks. Those looking to use the AMD Opteron 180 processor for gaming (when combined with a graphics card containing a dedicated GPU) will find that this CPU has enough gigahertz to produce solid graphics. Most modern games require GHz speeds ranging from 1.5GHz to mid-2GHz at a minimum, so the 2.4GHz of the AMD Opteron 180 will be ample for many games and may be able to run some games on higher graphics settings. Those using the AMD Opteron 180 processor for most office software applications will find the 2.4GHz to be ample speed for word processing and spreadsheet applications. The AMD Opteron 180 hardware cache is 2MB L2 cache memory, which shares that amount of memory between each core for quick access, cutting down processing times across your system for high performance. The AMD Opteron 180 also features 128KB+128KB L1 memory cache, with half of that memory used on associative instruction cache and the other memory used for data cache. The two cores of the AMD Opteron 180 also benefit from the use of AMD’s Direct Connect Architecture, which can improve overall system performance by eliminating traditional bottlenecks that can be found in legacy architectures. The AMD Opteron 180 supports type DDR2 RAM. The dual-core CPU is based on AMD64 technology that allows IT professionals to run 32- and 64-bit applications simultaneously. This means that small businesses can grow without sacrificing their existing IT investments. The socket, which provides the mechanical and electrical connections between the processor and motherboard, supports socket 939 motherboards. The max thermal design power (TDP) of the two-core AMD Opteron 180 is 110W. (TDP is usually 20 percent to 30 percent lower than the CPU maximum power dissipation.) The voltage range is 1.3V-1.35V. The AMD Opteron 180 is a solid performer that can run smoothly at high speeds and produce rich graphics on socket 939 motherboards. The 2.4GHz processor means you’ll be getting solid hardware from a trusted company. The AMD Opteron 180 will give any single-core system a significant boost of speed and power for gaming and other computing.Product Identifiers
