About This Product
The AMD Opteron 248 is a single-core, single-thread server/workstation CPU from the SledgeHammer microarchitecture, released in 2004. With a base clock of 2.2 GHz and a 89W TDP, it was designed for enterprise applications requiring stable, albeit limited, processing power. Its performance is significantly outmatched by modern multi-core processors, making it unsuitable for contemporary server loads or demanding workstation tasks.
Pros
- Stable for basic server functions
- Dual-channel memory support
- Low initial cost (historically)
Cons
- Single core, poor multi-tasking
- Very low performance by modern standards
- High power consumption for its performance
