Overview:
When AMD first introduced the AMD Opteron processor with Direct Connect Architecture in 2003, the target market was for servers in the datacenter. Back then, AMD had a new vision for how system memory and I/O interface to the processor core as well as the ability to create the world's first native dual-core and quad-core x86 processors. These technological advances by AMD have also brought out a new metric called "Performance per watt" which is frequently used as a way to measure overall processor effectiveness. Besides the traditional server market, AMD Opteron processors are also being used for high-end embedded applications. The AMD64 superscalar processor family features Direct Connect Architecture with an integrated memory controller, a scalable high-speed HyperTransport technology I/O interface and industry-leading x86 processor performance.
