Opteron Overload! (19 Comments) (link)
 Wednesday, 23-April-2003  15:28:44 (GMT +10) - by Agg

Lots of interesting stuff going on today with Opteron, AMD's first 64-bit x86 CPU. Offical word from AMD is here. LinuxMag checked out a dual server, with other (p)reviews from AcesHardware, AMDZone and NewsForge.

VIA, ATI, Corsair, SuSE Linux, Sun and IBM have announced Opteron support in their various products. NVIDIA have announced their nForce3 Pro motherboard chipset to complement the nvew CPU, thanks stmok. Bjorn3D have an article about nForce3.

HardOCP report on the Opteron launch conference (more pics here on AMDZone), while Tech-Report have some musings about what the new platform needs to succeed. Tim Sweeney from Epic gives his thoughts on what 64-bit means for gaming. Overclockers.com have their thoughts online too. Funny quote from AMD here.
