Built on GA-3CESL-RH (1.5) server board, being successor of well-reputed GS-R1231-RH and loaded with dual AMD Opteron 2000 series processors, GS-R1233-RH let users enjoy the performance advantage from Direct Connect Architecture (HyperTransport) and receive the benefits of 64-bit computing while getting the best 32-bit performance available anywhere. 4 SATA hard drive trays, RAID 0/1/5 mode provided by NVIDIA nForce Professional 3600 MCP and optional SAS RoC feature enabled to fill the needs of most internal RAID installation securing platform availability and data safety.

Besides the die shrink to 45nm process, “Shanghai” enjoys advantages based on higher frequency bump, HyperTransport Technology 3.0 up to 17.6GB/s, increased L3 cache capacity, more memory bandwidth, Smart Fetch reducing 21% power savings, improved data integrity from “L3 cache index disable” designed to protect data against L3 cache errors, enhanced virtualization by RVI (Rapid Virtualization Indexing) for up to 25% faster “world switch” time, and last but not least, 20-30% performance improvement over 65nm Quad-core Opteron “Barcelona”. All power efficiency innovations improve power consumption during idle: up to 35% lower power per processor, and up to 12% lower power at platform-level on GS-R1233-RH.

What’s more, combined with enhanced virtualization technology (nested paging, tagged TLB and Device Exclusion Vector) introduced by Barcelona before, GS-R1233-RH can let you enjoy higher memory performance, rapid VM switching, and seamless security while running virtualized applications. With the introduction of leading-edge 45nm quad-core Opteron, GS-R1233-RH will change your viewpoint on server consolidation and “performance per watt”.
