Red Hat proudly announced that the upcoming Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.2 operating system will fully support the power saving features of the AMD Bulldozer Opteron CPUs.

It is now official that Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.2 will have full support for the power savings features in AMD's Bulldozer Opteron processors.

The Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.2 operating system is in a Beta state at the moment, and the final release should be available sometime at the end of this year or the beginning of 2012.

"We are working with AMD in particular taking advantage of features [that are] in silicon. [...] RHEL would still run but not use new functionality in Interlagos," - said Aram Kananov, Product Marketing Manager EMEA for Platform and Cloud at Red Hat.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.2 Beta came with many updates and improvements especially in the areas of identity management, performance and scaling, advanced storage, networking, and high availability.
