Xeon vs. Opteron Performance Benchmarks

Posted by timothy on Wednesday March 3, 2004 @05:16AM 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."

SCO has had their IP stolen by unscrupulous GNU hippies. I wish them success in their mission.

  SCO's telacon was kind of an intereting listen.
  
  They say they own all rights to UNIX and its derivitive creations (Linux)
  
  They will not refund the licensing fees if tehy loose, because they are giving the right to use their IP even if it turns out its same thing they already sold their customers.
  
  I hope they publish a transcipt to the call.

...Why can't AMD make a Dual AMD64? I have a 3400+, and would gladly pay to get a second one and a motherboard to support them.

And I would *LOVE* it if Intel would support AMD in their motherboards, like they did in the old days. 'course, with AMD's reliance on Hypertransport, that might not be such a good idea...

Same for the PPC 970 ?? by for_usenet · 2004-03-03 07:18 · 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 ?
