This immediately made me want to make a video on an Opteron system. After 10 minutes on eBay, I regret it.

Old Opterons are a special layer of Hell.

Guess who pinged everyone in the discord server?? this guy did!

I continue to regret every time I do a dual CPU build.

Crazy that a ryzen 3/pentium 4 core current gen beats the 16 core in single and multithread...times have changed hey!

I recall these being really good for compute density for VM's that didn't need to be super fast, when I worked for a large banking company we ran a few full racks of supermicro 2u 4 socket boxes with 6376's and as much ram as we could squeeze into them and these were used primarily for XP virtual machines for some very old software that the company didn't want to spend a few hundred million to get remade (some of this is hardware costs tied to having to replace a mainframe if memory serves) and so on, and honestly for that, they did really well, I don't work there anymore but last I heard they did wind up remaking that software to run on modern OS's and have since consolidated that into a pair of 2U 4 node epyc boxes haha

LMAO... 'Please buy these from me.' 😂

issues here . low clocked ram coupled with the fact you are not running all ram channels . also numa nodes split into 4 8 cores . also there is a setting on the board which will let them turbo as high as possible on a few cores while dropping the unused cores to lower clocks :) i used to work on thes and once properly set up with ddr3 faster then 800 mhz or 1066 they perform better

When I was selling several hundred CPUs and RAM modules a week, the opterons stacked up and I couldn't even give them away... Waste of time to even list them.

My understanding of the 4 numa nodes is because the cpu is basically 2 cpu's on a single package. it's pretty jank so that's how she goes.

Messing with Opteron was always an interesting idea to me, but after seeing these results (and the price), I'm glad I just bought and upgraded an R720 for like 250 bucks lol

I assume it shows 4 NUMA-nodes because each chip actually has 2 seperate dies on it (so 2+2) And indeed after the lawsuit, CPUs of this architecture can pretty much all be considered to only have half the advertised cores, each "core" simply takes too many resources from the other that you can't really call them separate

"Not, no. Not you" lmao Thanks pal

Where's your Ebay page? I might take them.

I do have a dual socket Opteron 6380 server that has been my main hypervisor for the longest time. I paid $10 for each of the CPUs, and I got the rest for less than $150. To be fair, it does everything I need; but man, it SUCKS power like it's going out of time. EDIT: You said you got the same for $10/piece and I feel validated lol EDIT2: You also said the bits about power; validated again lol

Putting together my Dell 7820 with similar specs to your video a few months ago. Hopefully it goes better than this and I can learn a bit.

I got a kinda broken asus server plate with 4 opterons on it from my internship one harddrive slot was broken

I have a dual Opteron 6380 system with 256GB of DDR3. It still has more memory bandwidth than my 13th Gen i9 which is actually impressive for its age.

Totally something I'm not interested in, but what an intriguing 12 minutes! Thanks for these videos.
