Fujitsu Siemens Computers will offer a new series of workstations based on the AMD Opteron processor. The CELSIUS V830 supports the Dual-Core AMD Opteron processor Models 275, 270 and 265, which offer the best overall performance and performance-per-watt available in the market.

The CELSIUS V series offers system performance up to 32 GB DDR SDRAM. The CELSIUS V830 from Fujitsu Siemens Computers consists of a RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) compliant base unit and a significantly improved housing and thermal management system over prior Fujitsu Siemens Computers workstations. According to information provided by Fujitsu Siemens Computers, this leads to a noise-level reduction of approximately 50 percent over competitive systems.

New workstations leverage AMD PowerNow! technology with Optimized Power Management

The AMD Opteron processor-based CELSIUS V830 benefits from AMD's innovative power management technology, AMD PowerNow! technology with Optimized Power Management, and is one of the first platforms to enable this innovative technology.

AMD PowerNow! technology with OPM can reduce power consumption in enterprises by dynamically changing power states based on workload utilization.

The CELSIUS V830 uses the latest NVIDIA core-logic media and communications processors (MCP), nForce Professional 2200 and 2050, along with the AMD-8132(TM) chipset component HyperTransport technology PCI-X 2.0 tunnel and offers two x16 PCI Express ports supporting dual, high-end graphics and SLI-enablement.

The AMD-8132 chipset component brings high-performance PCI-X 2.0 connectivity to AMD Opteron processor-based systems providing increased throughput, improved RAS (Reliability, Availability, Serviceability) capabilities, robust data management and HyperTransport technology connectivity.

The new Fujitsu Siemens Computers CELSIUS V830 will be available in single- and dual-core configurations starting in August 2005 in Europe, the Middle East and Asia.
