About This Product
The AMD Opteron 842 is an end-of-life single-core server/workstation CPU from the Opteron series, released with the Athens microarchitecture. Operating at 1.6 GHz with a 200 MHz BCLK and 8.0x multiplier, it features 1MB of L2 cache and supports dual-channel memory. Its 85W TDP and single-core design make it unsuitable for modern server or workstation tasks requiring multi-threaded performance.
Pros
- Suitable for legacy server systems
- Low power consumption for its era
Cons
- Single core limits modern workload performance
- End-of-life status, no longer supported
- Integrated graphics model not specified
Verdict
“Only for maintaining legacy Socket 940 server systems; not recommended for new builds.”
