AMD Opteron Processors

Key takeaways

  • 1,947 listings match this collection right now.
  • Opteron spans three sockets, Socket F, C32 and G34, tied to the 2000, 4000 and 6000 series respectively, so the series number identifies the socket.
  • Socket F and the 2000 series run DDR2 memory, while Socket C32 and G34, the 4000 and 6000 series, both moved to DDR3, so the memory does not cross between the two eras.
  • The 6000 series on Socket G34 was the only Opteron line built for four-socket glueless scaling, while the 2000 and 4000 series topped out at two sockets.

Opteron was AMD's server line before EPYC, spanning Socket F, C32 and G34 across the 2000, 4000 and 6000 series. The platforms that use them are long past end of life, which is when a matched replacement processor is hardest to find new.

How to choose server processors

The socket has to match the board before anything else matters, and multi-socket systems must be populated with identical processor models. Xeon Scalable tiers (Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum) differ in core count, socket support and memory speed; the older E5 line is split by version (v2 on LGA2011, v3 and v4 on LGA2011-3). Processors ship as the bare part: heatsinks and carriers are platform specific and ordered separately.
