About This Product
The AMD Opteron 848 is an end-of-life single-core server/workstation CPU from the Athens microarchitecture. With a 2.2 GHz base clock and 1MB L2 cache, it offers minimal performance for modern server tasks. Its single-core design and age make it unsuitable for current demanding workloads, significantly underperforming compared to contemporary multi-core processors in its original market segment.
Pros
- Suitable for legacy server systems
- Low power consumption for its era
Cons
- Single core limits performance
- Obsolete for modern workloads
- Poor multi-tasking capability
Verdict
“Only for maintaining legacy Socket 940 server systems; not recommended for new builds.”
