Advanced Micro Devices Barcelona Barcelona

The Quad-Core AMD Opteron™ Server Processors are manufactured using AMD’s 65nm silicon on insulator (SOI) process at Fab 36. Although there are no fundamental process changes from those used in the manufacture of the 65nm AMD Athlon Desktop Processors, the Barcelona has increased the number of Cu interconnect layers by two. Core process architecture improvements and design optimization deliver improved transistor performance and cache efficiency.
