Xeon vs. Opteron Performance Benchmarks

Posted by timothy on from the for-your-summer-cottage's-data-farm dept.

QuickSand writes "Anand got his hands on some of Intel and AMD's enterprise processors including 4MB L3 Xeons, and put them to the test. Results were a little varied as 4-way Opteron systems seemed to fare the best, although dual Xeon configurations almost always beat dual Opterons. The exact benchmarks are here."

  1. Same for the PPC 970 ?? by for_usenet · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    I may be off-topic here, but is the CPU-memory configuration used by the AMD CPUs similar to that used by the PPC 970 (a.k.a. Apple's G5)? I haven't read a whole lot of technical details on the 970, but it did sound like it. Can anyone verify/confirm ?
