About This Product
The AMD Opteron 6168 is a 12-core, 12-thread server/workstation CPU from the Magny-Cours series, operating at 1.9 GHz. Designed for multi-socket server environments, it offers substantial multi-threaded performance for applications like virtualization, databases, and scientific computing. Its End-of-Life status means it is primarily available on the used market, where it can provide cost-effective multi-core processing compared to contemporary server CPUs, though with lower per-core performance and higher power consumption.
Pros
- High core count for multi-threaded tasks
- Suitable for virtualization and servers
- Cost-effective on the used market
- Robust server platform support
Cons
- Low single-thread performance
- High power consumption (115W TDP)
