The AMD Opteron™ 4000 Series Platform 

The world's lowest power per core server processor1

The AMD Opteron™ 4100 Series processor, the world's lowest power per core server processor1, sets the foundation for cloud workloads and affordability for mainstream infrastructure servers with prices starting at $99.2

AMD has leapfrogged its own leading-edge power efficient server processor designs by being the first to break the 6 watt/core barrier – allowing you to double the number of servers, within the same power budget, compared to previous generations3
