AMD64 Windows vs. Fedora vs. SuSE benchmarks

Posted by Hemos on from the testing-them-all-out dept.

Illissius writes "AnandTech just posted a review comparing 32- and 64-bit performance on both Linux and Windows. They focused on what is available out of the box without having to compile anything seperately - unfortunately, 64-bit binaries weren't available for most of the Windows benchmarks. To save people the pain of RTFA, there's a very tangible gain moving to 64-bitness, Linux wins some (MySQL, UT2004), and Windows wins some (rendering, RtCW)."

    The funny thing is they only simulated the AMD on a P4 because the evaluation team smoked the AMD chip by overclocking it and playing Halflife. Multen pool of silicon.
