AMD Xilleon™ Panel Processors Announced

AMD Xilleon™ Panel Processors Announced

AMD unveiled a new family of AMD Xilleon™ panel processors designed to provide unrivaled visual quality in LCD digital TVs. AMD’s new panel processors deliver advanced motion compensation and frame rate conversion technology for excellent image processing, resulting in a rich, immersive entertainment experience.

AMD is committed to helping manufacturers deliver crystal clear ‘20/20 television’ to a growing mainstream market of digital TV consumers worldwide, enabling The Ultimate Visual Experience.™ AMD is driving innovation and design efficiencies with outstanding technology in highly integrated, flexible AMD Xilleon processor solutions, which now span from TV motherboards to display panels.

As consumers demand larger TVs with greater clarity, picture defects such as blurred motion or “film judder” can detract from the viewing experience and leave consumers dissatisfied. This trend toward larger TVs, coupled with the global transition to digital TV broadcasts starting with the U.S. in early 2009, has significantly increased the importance of DTV visual quality.

AMD Xilleon™ panel processors offer motion compensation and frame rate conversion based on AMD’s enhanced phase-plane correlation technology to help TV manufacturers deliver a superior picture. AMD’s state-of-the-art technology supports high-quality visual processing for 100Hz/120Hz LCD TVs up to full HD (1080p) resolution.

Features and Benefits Outstanding Performance System Efficiency Simplified System Management

Outstanding Performance

Quad-Core AMD Opteron Processors

AMD Opteron Quad-Core processors -- with its new AMD Balanced Smart Cache, AMD Wide Floating Point Accelerator and Memory Optimizer Technology -- enable Quad Core Sun Fire X2200 M2 servers to offer outstanding application scalability and performance.

Industry-Leading Memory Capacity

With eight DIMM slots per CPU, the Sun Fire X2200 M2 server offers industry-leading memory capacity in a 1RU entry server making the system ideal for memory intensive applications -- such as Abacus, Fluent, PowerFLOW - or the memcache tier of web services architectures.

Leading Expandability

With two PCI-Express expansion slots and four ethernet ports, the Sun Fire X2200 M2 server offers leading expandability for connectivity. The server is ideal for high performance computing applications using attached, rather than onboard storage, or complex high speed interconnects.

System Efficiency

Lower Energy Cost

Supporting AMD Opteron High Efficiency (HE) processors -- with their integrated memory controller, Independent Dynamic Core Technology and AMD CoolCore Technology -- and power efficient DDR2 memory, the Sun Fire X2200 M2 server is a highly energy efficient 2 to 8-way x64 server.

Reduce Costs with System Longevity

Sun Fire X2200 M2 server was designed from the start to seamlessly transition multiple generations of AMD Opteron processors. Its balanced I/O and memory architecture enable performance enhancements through low-cost, easy-to-use Upgrade Kits, rather than complete system replacement.

Virtually Any OS

The Sun Fire X2200 M2 server can run Solaris, Linux, Ubuntu, Windows and VMware[1] operating systems, broadening the range of applications.

Simplified System Management

Remote Management

The Sun Fire X2200 M2 server comes standard with comprehensive remote management capability at no extra charge. The embedded Lights Out Manager (LOM) enables remote power control, keyboard, video, mouse (KVM) and media capability, as well as monitoring of key hardware components.

Centralized Management

The embedded Lights Out Manager in the Sun Fire X2200 M2 server can be integrated with management tools, such as Sun xVM Ops Center software, to simplify data center management and system configuration, as well as software provisioning and updates.
