Overview
SummaryThe AMD Opteron 6164 HE is a server processor with 12 cores and 12 threads. It launched in Mar 2010. A 12-MB L3 cache backs the cores (1.6 MB per core). It uses the G34 socket. Rated TDP is 85 W.
Performance
12 metricsThe AMD Opteron 6164 HE scores 399 in single-core performance and 3,478 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 1,178 for overall performance, 2,819 for productivity performance, 2,631 for creator performance, 3,782 for engineering performance and 2,067 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 290 per core, 290 per thread and 41 per watt. Its computed efficiency index is 128. Its performance index is 15, so its overall performance is 85% 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 6164 HE.
How these scores are computed
Single-core and multi-core performance are PassMark CPU Mark single-thread and multi-thread ratings. Every other figure on this page's performance section is computed by Feex from those two ratings plus core count, thread count and TDP, so it is a derived value and not a separate benchmark run.
- Overall performance is the geometric mean of the two ratings: the square root of single-core times multi-core.
- Productivity performance is 0.65 times multi-core plus 1.4 times single-core.
- Creator performance is 0.55 times multi-core plus 1.8 times single-core.
- Engineering performance is multi-core times the smaller of 1.4 and (0.9 plus cores divided by 64).
- Gaming performance is 3 times single-core plus 0.25 times multi-core.
- Performance per core, per thread and per watt divide the multi-core rating by physical cores, logical threads and TDP in watts.
- The efficiency index is the square root of single-core times multi-core, divided by the square root of TDP.
- The performance index is overall performance divided by the overall performance of the Intel Core i5-12400 (8,069), times 100.
Core Configuration
6 specsThe AMD Opteron 6164 HE has 12 physical cores and runs 12 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 1.70 GHz.
Architecture & Generation
4 specsThe AMD Opteron 6164 HE is a server processor and belongs to the AMD Opteron family. It launched in Mar 2010.
Cache
6 specsThe AMD Opteron 6164 HE has 1.50 MB of L1 cache, 6 MB of L2 cache and 12 MB of L3 cache. That adds up to about 19.5 MB of cache, or 1.63 MB per core. Each core has 512 KB of private L2 cache.
Cache Hierarchy
3 levelsThe AMD Opteron 6164 HE has a 3-level cache hierarchy: L1 at 1.5 MB, L2 at 6 MB and L3 at 12 MB. L3 is the largest level and makes up about 62% of the cache listed here.
