Increased performance and improved energy consumption provide Gateway's
customers with leading technology and offer cost saving benefits
IRVINE, Calif., Sept. 10 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Gateway, Inc. (NYSE:
GTW), the nation's third largest PC vendor, will offer the powerful new
Quad-Core AMD Opteron(TM) processors in its entry-level tower server and
complete line of rackmount servers.
The new AMD (NYSE: AMD) processors feature four cores on one piece of
silicon in the same thermal envelopes as the previous generation of
dual-core AMD Opteron processors, for an increase in performance without an
increase in heat generation. AMD's revolutionary Direct Connect
Architecture allows the processors to be connected directly to one another
and an I/O and memory controller to be directly connected to each
processor. The new processors' improved energy efficiency features help
control operational costs of data centers by reducing processor power
consumption, thereby reducing heat generation and decreasing the strain on
cooling systems.
"Our customers have been extremely pleased with our previous AMD
Opteron processor-based servers," said Tim Diefenthaler, Gateway senior
director, professional product management. "Once again, AMD is bringing
leading-edge technology with significant benefits to our servers and,
ultimately, our customers."
The new Quad-Core AMD Opteron processors will be offered on the Gateway
E-9232T tower server, and the E-9722R, E-9522R and E-9422R rackmount
servers.
The Gateway E-9232T features a low price point and compelling
technologies, making it an affordable, yet powerful server that can help
small- and medium-sized businesses run efficiently and securely.
Gateway's 1U, 2U and 3U rackmount servers, the E-9422R, E-9522R and
E-9722R, include leading improved serviceability, integrated RAID, Gateway
Lights Out (GLO) system management and optional low-cost remote control
K/V/M (keyboard, video, mouse). They also support both SAS and SATA II hard
drives in the same system. Their powerful technologies and scalability
features make them ideal for large, demanding office environments, but they
are also cost- effective solutions for small- and medium-sized businesses.
In March, the Gateway E-9722R server won the prestigious Best of FOSE Award
in the enterprise hardware category.
"We're pleased to work with Gateway to help bring advanced technology
with increased performance and cost savings to their business customers,"
said Patrick Patla, Director of Product Management, Server/Workstation
Division, AMD. "Our new Quad-Core AMD Opteron processors operate within the
same socket and thermal envelopes as our current generation of dual-core
processors. Customers not only get increased performance, but also
increased energy efficiencies, which help reduce power consumption. This
advantage can be quite significant in today's demanding server
environments."
