HP XW9400 Pro WorkStation Updated Six Core AMD Opteron 2400 Series Based Powerhouse

HP have announced that their range of workstation PCs are now to be
offered with the Six Core AMD Opteron 2400 Series CPU as an optional
upgrade or, if that isn't quite enough for you, a choice of two Six-Core
AMD Opteron processors resulting in a total of 12 processing cores.

Billed as being ideal for complex applications such as 3D content
creation, as well as engineering and science applications, the new six
core AMD Opteron 2400 Series of CPUs offer up to 34 percent more
performance per watt when compared with previous generation quad-core
processors and, thanks to the inclusion of AMD HyperTransport 3.0
technology (HT3) you're looking at interconnect rates of up to a pretty
astonishing 4.8 gigatransfers per second. Pair this setup with the
optional ATI FirePro V7750 3D workstation graphics solution and the
result is a veritable powerhouse of raw power that should breeze through
even the most processor intensive of applications.
HP understands the immense pressure its customers are under to deliver
more return on investment in a shorter period of time. By providing the
most extreme combination of technologies - up to 12 cores in one
workstation - HP continues its commitment to bringing customers
leading-edge technologies, said Jeff Wood, director, Worldwide
Marketing, Workstations, HP who announced the introduction of the Six
Core AMD Opteron 2400 Series in HPs Workstation line-up.

John Fruehe, director, Business Development, Server Workstation
Business, AMD added, The Six-Core AMD Opteron processor delivers
top-line performance with no compromise in feature sets across the
product line. Including the Six-Core AMD Opteron processor and ATI
FirePro V7750 3-D workstation graphics accelerator in the powerful HP
xw9400 Workstation offers customers an optimal combination of computing
performance and high-end graphics capability.

Pricing of HP's XW9400 Professional Workstation starts from just $1,899,
however, as you'll doubtless of gathered, if you want to max out the
XW9400 in terms of bolt-on extras you should set aside somewhat more.
