What the Opteron 13QS HE is
The AMD Opteron 13QS HE is a quad core Suzuka embedded processor from April 2009. It runs four K10 cores at 2.4 GHz with no turbo, so 4 cores give 4 threads. Each core carries 512 KB of L2 cache for 2 MB in total, backed by 6 MB of shared L3 cache. Power is rated at 71 W TDP with 55 W ACP on a 45 nm C2 process and the OE13QSMAP4DGIE part.
The QS suffix with HE marks high efficiency embedded at 71 W against 115 W on standard Suzuka quads. The task list shows Socket Fr2, and family tables confirm the 1207-land package, so this page files it under Socket Fr2 with Suzuka. Against the 13KS EE at 2.0 GHz it adds clocks at higher power.
Memory is DDR2 ECC registered through the embedded board design.
Socket and motherboard compatibility
The Opteron 13QS HE fits Socket Fr2 with 1207 lands. Embedded boards with Suzuka firmware boot it directly. Retail boards never list it.
The socket table carries no per-codename chipset claim, so the page shows the neutral sentence. The Socket vs chipset: what decides whether a CPU works guide covers pairing rules.
Memory, PCIe and cooling
Memory is DDR2 ECC registered through the board design.
HyperTransport links the CPU to the board chipset. PCIe slots hang off the chipset.
Cooling uses vendor qualified server heatsinks rated for 71 W.
Upgrade paths
On Socket Fr2 the path stays within embedded Suzuka on the same board. Beyond the embedded platform a move to standard Opteron needs a new board.
Frequently asked questions
