PR Newswire (US)
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." Professional
