I know that many of you who work with servers for a living are already familiar with AMD’s quad core processor called Barcelona. For those that aren’t, it’s AMD’s version of a quad core processor for servers, and it’s based on their Opteron architecture. If you want more background on the chip itself, take a look at CNET’s take on it as well as this overview article from Anandtech.
