Processor / system bus

  • 2 CPU sockets (G34 compatible)
  • HyperTransport™ Technology 3.0
  • CPUs supported:
    • AMD Opteron 6100 series (Fam10h. No IOMMU support. Not recommended - old. View errata datasheet here: http://support.amd.com/TechDocs/41322_10h_Rev_Gd.pdf)
    • AMD Opteron 6200 series (Fam15h, with full IOMMU support in libreboot - highly recommended - fast, and works well without microcode updates, including virtualization)
    • AMD Opteron 6300 series: these CPUs have higher performance and are more power efficient, but require microcode updates for stable virtualization. You can get these by adding them to the coreboot image, or by loading it from your linux kernel
    • NOTE: 6300 series CPUs have buggy microcode built-in, and libreboot recommends avoiding the updates. The 6200 series CPUs have more reliable microcode. Look at this errata datasheet: http://support.amd.com/TechDocs/48063_15h_Mod_00h-0Fh_Rev_Guide.pdf (see Errata 734 - this is what kills the 6300 series)
  • 6.4 GT/s per link (triple link)
