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."

    In the two way tests when the Xeon won it was always by a margin of like 1% to 3% where as when the Xeon lost, it was usually by 5-11+%. Not sure how the Xeon fared well here since it has lots more clock speed and lots more cache. It basically got owned hard core.
