Gateway announced today that it will begin offering the new AMD quad-core Opteron processors in their server computer systems. The new quad-core parts will be offered in the Gateway E-932T tower server and the E-9722R, E-9522R and E-9422R rackmount servers.

The pricing of the servers with the new quad-core processors isn’t announced at this time. "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 servers using the new AMD Opteron processors will be significantly more powerful than previous generations of servers running dual-core processors. "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."
