Computer chip technology company AMD (NYSE: AMD) has announced that Fujitsu Siemens Computers, a European IT provider, is offering a new series of workstations based on the AMD Opteron processor.

The CELSIUS V series offers system performance up to 32 GB DDR SDRAM. According to AMD the CELSIUS V830, which supports the Dual-Core AMD Opteron processor Models 275, 270 and 265, consists of a Restriction of Hazardous Substances compliant base unit and an improved housing and thermal management system, which reportedly leads to a noise-level reduction of about 50% over competitive systems. The CELSIUS V830 uses the NVIDIA core-logic media and communications processors (MCP), nForce Professional 2200 and 2050, along with the AMD-8132 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 company claims.

The CELSIUS V830 is said to use AMD's power management technology, AMD PowerNow! technology with Optimized Power Management (OPM), which can reduce power consumption in enterprises by dynamically changing power states based on workload utilization.

The CELSIUS V830 will be available in single- and dual-core configurations starting in August 2005. No pricing details were disclosed.
