AMD refreshes Opteron 4200 and 6200 lineups

Jun 04, 2012: AMD today introduced new server microprocessors from Opteron 4200 and 6200 series. The processors feature slightly improved performance over existing Opteron 4200 and 6200 products, while keeping maximum power dissipation on the same level with older chips. Overall, there are 5 new models: 6278 and 6284 SE from 6200 series, along with 4230 HE, 4240 and 4276 HE from 4200 series. The CPUs are priced from $316 to $1265, and they will be available in two newly released HP ProLiant Gen8 servers: DL385p 2U rack server and BL465c server blade.

New Opteron 4200 and 6200 CPUs added to AMD pricelist

May 01, 2012: We already reported about AMD's plans to refresh existing Opteron 4200 and 6200 series with several new SKUs, which will be done before transitioning to the next generation of server processors, based on Piledriver core. Last month new Opterons surfaced in a few US online stores, and today AMD added these CPUs to official pricelist. We consider this as an indication that the SKUs have been launched. The company also added prices for Opteron 3200 series chips, that were released in March.

Unreleased AMD Opteron CPUs are available for pre-order

Apr 12, 2012: AMD Opteron 4200 and 6200 server microprocessors were revealed in November of last year, and there are all indications that both families will be refreshed soon. Last week we released details on two new Opteron 4200 models, 4240 and 4276 HE. This week we spotted these SKUs, as well as 4 other upcoming chips from 4200 and 6200 series in several US online stores, including Provantage and Buy.com. Pre-order prices in Provantage store range from $344 to $490 (listings are on the bottom of the page) for 4200-series Opterons, and from $693 to $1364 for 6200-series CPUs.
