Appendix A – AMD Opteron processors
The AMD Opteron processors deployed in the latest HP ProLiant servers help advance the future of
industry-standard servers. Key benefits include:
Improving the performance of existing 32-bit applications
Supporting 64-bit addressing – breaking the 4 GB limit inherent in earlier x86 processor
implementations
By supporting simultaneous 32- and 64-bit processing, the Opteron processor provides a bridge to
full 64-bit computing.
