AMD OPTERON SERVER MOTHERBOARD

Dual AMD OpteronServer Motherboard

GA-3CESL-RHOverviewGiven versatile

applications desirous

for much more memory

capacity, designed for AMD

Opteron platform, GIGABYTE

GA-3CESL-RH features 16 DIMM (8 DIMM for

each processor) supporting maximum 64GB

Registered DDR2 800/ 667/ 533 memory.

Being successor of well-reputed GA-3CESL-RH server board and loaded with

dual AMD Opteron 2000 series processors, systems built on GA-3CESL-RH let users

enjoy the performance advantage from Direct Connect Architecture (HyperTransport)

and receive the benefits of 64-bit computing while getting the best 32-bit performance

available anywhere. 6 SATA ports, RAID 0/ 1/ 0+1/ 5 mode provided by NVIDIA nForce

Professional 3600 MCP and optional SAS RoC feature enabled to fill the needs of most

internal RAID installation securing platform availability and data safety.

Besides the die shrink to 45nm process, “Shanghai” enjoys advantages based on higher

frequency bump, HyperTransport Technology 3.0 up to 17.6GB/s, increased L3 cache

capacity, more memory bandwidth, Smart Fetch reducing 21% power savings, improved

data integrity from “L3 cache index disable” designed to protect data against L3 cache

errors, enhanced virtualization by RVI (Rapid Virtualization Indexing) for up to 25%

faster “world switch” time, and last but not least, 20-30% performance improvement

over 65nm Quad-core Opteron “Barcelona”. All power efficiency innovations improve

power consumption during idle: up to 35% lower power per processor, and up to 12%

lower power at platform-level.

With the introduction of new generation AMD Opteron processors and GA-3CESL-RH,

upcoming GIGABYTE Opteron servers and workstations will bring customers enhanced

power efficiency, advanced virtualization technology, and future many-core

upgradeability provided by AMD’s innovation.

Direct Connect Architecture eliminates the

bottlenecks inherent in traditional front-side

bus architectures providing increased through-

put for the best system scaling. It’s designed

for multi-threaded and multitasking environ-

ments and can be deployed on a single platform

for simplified manageability and lower TCO

with industry-leading processor performance.
