The AMD Opteron X2 860 HE was a server/workstation processor with 2 cores, launched in August 2005. It is part of the Opteron X2 lineup, using the Egypt architecture with Socket 940. To further increase overall system performance, up to eight Opteron X2 860 HE CPUs can link up in a multi-processor (SMP) configuration. Opteron X2 860 HE has 1 MB of L2 cache and operates at 1600 MHz. AMD is building the Opteron X2 860 HE on a 90 nm production process using 233 million transistors. The multiplier is locked on Opteron X2 860 HE, which limits its overclocking capabilities.
With a TDP of 55 W, the Opteron X2 860 HE consumes typical power levels for a modern PC. For communication with other components in the computer, Opteron X2 860 HE uses a PCI-Express Gen 2 connection. This processor lacks integrated graphics, you might need a graphics card.
The SSE4 instruction set is not supported, which can cause problems with modern games, as they require that capability.
