These AMD processors include advanced AMD Visualization technology that ensures high scalability and power efficiency that makes it perfect for multitasking, web serving and cloud computing. The new Six-core AMD Opteron processors consumes very less power and has high performance-per-watt.

The main aim to invent these processors is to reduce the energy costs without compromising with the performance. These new Six-core AMD Opteron HE processors saves up to 18% power than usual wattage versions and also offers up to 18% better performance-per-watt than the quad-core version.

AMD Six Core Opteron Series

The users are rapidly adopting HP G6 server solutions to get 45% better performance than earlier generations to save money. AMD also launched 2 new 2.8G.Hz full-featured Six-core AMD Opteron SE processors for hi-fi performance for mission critical workloads like CRM and Database applications.

MS Office 2010

Microsoft Office 2010, as revealed by the just-released Technical Preview, brings a set of important if incremental improvements to the market-leading office suite. Among them: making the Ribbon the default interface for all Office applications, adding a host of new features to individual applications such as video editing in PowerPoint and improved mail handling in Outlook and introducing a number of Office-wide productivity enhancers, including photo editing tools and a much-improved paste operation.

Missing from the Technical Preview is what will be the most important change to Office in years — a Web-based version for both enterprises and consumers. Also missing from the preview is access to Office for mobile phones and other mobile clients. Those features will be introduced in later versions of the software; the final version is expected to ship in the first half of 2010.

This review will concentrate on what is present in the Technical Preview, not what is expected to arrive in future releases.

Global changes

Office 2007 introduced the Ribbon, a major change to Office’s interface that replaced the old menus and sub-menus with a graphical system that groups buttons for common tasks together in tabs. But Microsoft didn’t go whole hog with it back then; Outlook, among other applications, was not given the full Ribbon treatment.

The Ribbon takes center stage

In this version of Office, all applications now share the common Ribbon interface, including Outlook, OneNote and all other Office applications, and SharePoint. Love it or hate it, the Ribbon is here to stay.

In addition, the Ribbon has been tweaked. The Office button in the upper-left corner of the screen has been redesigned; it’s now a small, unobtrusive rectangle rather than a large circle. Microsoft says that many people thought the circle was a branding icon, rather than a functional button that can be clicked on. The button has also been moved down slightly from its previous location at the very top of the screen.
