Advanced Micro Devices on Monday released low-power and high-performance processors that will find their way into servers from Hewlett-Packard, Dell, Sun Microsystems, and Rackable Systems.

The new server processors are updated versions of AMD’s 45-nanometer Shanghai processor.

“When we first came to market, we brought out the standard-power (Shanghai processors) because that’s where the bulk of our market is,” John Fruehe, the director of business development for server and workstation products at AMD, said in an interview. “As always, we follow(ed) up fairly quickly with the HE, which are the energy-efficient models, and the SE, which are the high-performance models.”

The more innovation we realize in the hardware in terms of performance and energy efficiency, the more choice and opportunities for the end user which has to be a good thing for the platform and the community, I’m off to read up more.
