This has forced emerging technologies such as cloud computing and virtualization to gain signification popularity with a 60% year over year growth.

In addition to the emerging stack of new technologies, AMD released its 45nm Quad-Core that promises to save energy and boost performance. It will deliver up to 35 percent more performance with its 35 percent decrease in power consumption at idle.

Global OEMs are expected to be rollout to enterprises and SMB customers in more than 25 systems with the 45nm Quad-Core AMD Opteron processor, codenamed Shanghai

Shanghai is a result of a closely co-ordinate work effort between AMD s development centers in India and Austin with the Indian team leading the effort. The significant role played by India center in the development of Shanghai processor is a reflection of the strategic role that India is playing in global development activities.

The Quad-Core processor will help to drive data center with more efficiency and reduce complexities with its enhanced virtualization and increased performance-per-watt said Dasaradha Gude, managing director, Computing, AMD India.

The latest Quad-Core AMD Opteron processors at the 75-watt ACP ranging from 2.3 to 2.7 GHz are available immediately, with enhanced Quad-Core AMD Opteron HE (55-watt) and SE (105-watt) processors planned to follow.
