Penguin Computing Supports AMD Opteron x86 CPUs

Penguin Computing has announced immediate availability of the new Altus 1750 server.

This dual socket 1U system is built specifically to support the fastest clock speeds available for AMD (News - Alert) Opteron x86 CPUs.

Penguin claims its new server can deliver the best price/performance combination in the market for high clock speed (including over-clocked) systems. Also, it is the only production system designed to do this for an AMD Opteron platform.

Elaborating on the new release, Penguin says that it is ideal for high frequency trading and other low latency applications that benefit from the highest frequency CPUs available.

A combination of the Altus 1750s optimized cooling design and AMD Opteron technology results in a system that is faster, denser, and offers better price/performance than other comparable systems.

Penguin Computing specializes in high-performance computing (HPC), delivering complete, integrated HPC solutions, from the workstation to the cloud.

“Altus 1750 combines AMD’s industry leading multi core processors with raw GHz performance that’s uniquely ours,” said Charles Wuischpard, CEO, Penguin Computing. “As an AMD Platinum Elite partner we are fully committed to providing best-in-class AMD solutions for the scientific and financial communities.”

The company is set to debut the Altus 1750 at the HPC on Wall Street Conference in New York City.
