Benchmarks & Specs

Last updated:
The AMD Opteron 3280 is a processor based on the Bulldozer architecture. Its internal codename is Zurich. It was manufactured using the 32nm process. These models were originally often used in smaller server environments or dedicated workstations. One of its strengths is the integrated 8 MB Level 3 cache.

This ensures faster access to frequently used data. The AMD Opteron 3280 also offers a maximum memory bandwidth of 30 GB/s. This supports solid data processing for various tasks. Even today, this bandwidth proves to be very useful for specific applications. Integrated support for PCIe 2.0 provides a variety of expansion options.

This makes it easy to integrate various cards for specific requirements. Anyone planning a cost-effective server or a simple workstation will find an option here. We have found that these processors still reliably perform their service even after a long time.
