AMD Takes Opteron To 2.4GHz

Posted by timothy on from the zhoooooommmm dept.

EconolineCrush writes "AMD has added a series of Opteron x50 processors to its workstation and server line that push the K8 core up to 2.4GHz. The Tech Report has tested the latest single and dual-processor Opterons against more than 20 other processors, including exotic Pentim 4 Extreme Edition chips, affordable Athlon 64s, and everything in between. Even if you have no interest in AMD's latest workstation chips, the review is worth checking out to see how two dozen of the fastest workstation and PC processors stack up in rendering, scientific computing, speech recognition, and even gaming tests."

    I have no interest in AMD's latest chips, and yet I do not believe this review is worth "checking out" unless it talks about how great Linux is or how evil Microsoft is.

    Why is slashdot posting this Microsoft-neutral fluff? It has been several stories since I have been re-assured that 2004 (ok maybe 2005) is the year of linsux!! OK.. Maybe 2006.
