AMD® Opteron™ 1218

The AMD Opteron 1218 is a server processor with 2 cores and 2 threads. It launched in Aug 2006. It uses the AM2 socket. Rated TDP is 103 W.

The AMD Opteron 1218 scores 962 in single-core performance and 910 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 936 for overall performance, 1,938 for productivity performance, 2,232 for creator performance, 847 for engineering performance and 3,114 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 455 per core, 455 per thread and 9 per watt. Its computed efficiency index is 92. Its performance index is 12, so its overall performance is 88% below the Intel Core i5-12400 (index 100). Each bar shows the score as a share of a reference ceiling, which is the larger of the 99th-percentile score across the Feex CPU database and a fixed baseline.

Workload sub-scores (integer math, floating point, compression, encryption, physics, SIMD, prime sieve and sorting) are not recorded for the AMD Opteron 1218.

The AMD Opteron 1218 has 2 physical cores and runs 2 logical threads. It does not use a hybrid performance and efficiency core layout. It does not support simultaneous multithreading, so its thread count equals its core count. It runs at a base clock of 2.60 GHz.

The AMD Opteron 1218 is a server processor and belongs to the AMD Opteron family. It launched in Aug 2006.

The AMD Opteron 1218 has 256 KB of L1 cache and 2 MB of L2 cache. That adds up to about 2.3 MB of cache, or 1.13 MB per core. Each core has 1 MB of private L2 cache.

The AMD Opteron 1218 has a 2-level cache hierarchy: L1 at 256 KB and L2 at 2 MB. L2 is the largest level and makes up about 89% of the cache listed here.

The AMD Opteron 1218 uses the AM2 socket.

The AMD Opteron 1218 has a rated TDP of 103 W.
