AMD® Opteron™ 270

The AMD Opteron 270 is a server processor with 2 cores and 2 threads. It uses the 940 socket. Rated TDP is 95 W.

The AMD Opteron 270 scores 587 in single-core performance and 736 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 657 for overall performance, 1,300 for productivity performance, 1,461 for creator performance, 685 for engineering performance and 1,945 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 368 per core, 368 per thread and 8 per watt. Its computed efficiency index is 67. Its performance index is 8, so its overall performance is 92% 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.

Scores for individual PassMark CPU Mark test categories. Higher is better. These are measured test scores, not computed from the single-core and multi-core ratings.

In the individual workload tests the AMD Opteron 270 scores 2,789 in integer math, 1,562 in floating-point math, 17,157 in compression, 239 in cryptography, 66 in physics simulation, 202 in vector SIMD, 4 in the prime sieve and 2,222 in sorting. Higher is better. Compared with the Intel Core i5-12400, it is 95% below in integer math, 97% below in floating-point math, 92% below in compression, 98% below in cryptography, 94% below in physics simulation, 99% below in vector SIMD, 94% below in the prime sieve and 90% below in sorting. Each bar shows the score as a share of that workload's reference ceiling, the larger of the 99th-percentile score across CPUs with a recorded value and a fixed baseline.

The AMD Opteron 270 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 2.00 GHz.

The AMD Opteron 270 is a server processor and belongs to the AMD Opteron family.

The AMD Opteron 270 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 270 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 270 uses the 940 socket.
