AMD Dual-Core Performance Revealed

Posted by Zonk on Thursday April 21, 2005 @02:51AM from the hard-core-number-crunching dept.

Timmus writes "In two separate articles, FiringSquad takes a look at the performance of AMD's dual-core Opteron CPU. The first article examines the performance of dual-core in scientific computing applications (MATLAB and LS-DYNA) as well as digital photography, while the second story focuses on the performance of dual-core Opteron paired against Intel's dual-core Pentium Extreme Edition in video encoding, Cinebench, and a few other applications. The performance improvements are pretty impressive in multi-threaded applications that take advantage of the technology."

Let me know when I can get one that puts out 1.21 gigawatts. And no, I won't tell you what my plans for it are...
