@FandaSin @ActionRetro It's an #AMD64 #Opteron-based #Workstation.

  • Late-era #Sun offered low-and medium-end systems with #AMD64 and reserved #SPARC64 for their highest-end systems...

I do know a [former] customer/user of these systems and I may be able to grab some used systems from them...

  • Granted #SunMicrosystems rarely updated the chassis of their systems because "why?" and also because that adds only costs and rately benefits them or their clients to do so.

My colleagues are moving a research data center of ours and they're doing some spring cleaning.

Under this fan and heatsink there is the ill-fated AMD Opteron A1100, an Arm chip designed by AMD (4 / 8 core Cortex-A57) around 2014.

Colleague went by and gave me this almost vintage CPU from AMD.

I did a bunch of research yesterday on older AMD Opteron server CPUs. My conclusion is that I won't go out of my way to buy any of them, but would be happy to play around with one if I got it in a haul of retired equipment.

An Opteron that is AM3 socket compatible is of interest as I have a number of good AM3 motherboards that I am not currently using.

For practical purposes, the older Intel socket 1155 and 1150 CPUs and motherboards are more useful as I already have many of them and getting more is easy and inexpensive.

https://youtu.be/rMvwHMuTLGw From one of my favorite personalities within the tech-press Wendell of Level1Techs, a video about #AMD introducing x86-64, through #Opteron and #Athlon64 , 20 years ago today! I try and not simp for private companies, but I will forever have a soft spot for AMD, the computer world would have been much darker place without them, and their ability to disrupt the status quo. #retrocomputing #gaming
20 Years Ago, AMD x86-64'd the WORLD!!!
