The Top CPUs Under Linux

Posted by timothy on from the hard-to-go-wrong-nowadays dept.

Linux Hack writes "LinuxHardware.org has published their latest review and this one covers the top processors from both the big x86 manufacturers. If you want to see who's on top under Linux, you should check out this review. There's something here for both Intel and AMD fanboys!"

    Now, instead of just having n-way SMP systems, you need n-way SMP systems with different manufacturer's CPUs, if you want optimal performance.


    The CPUs are specialized, which is why each does great at a few things but not so great overall. If you want a general system, then, you have to have multiple brands of CPU. How you're going to build such a monster, I don't know, but it's the only way to solve that problem if you want maximum power all-round.

  4. x86 vs UltraSPARC by spaceyhackerlady · · Score: 1, Funny

    x86 is for weenies. We all know real computers use UltraSPARC processors. Linux runs very nicely on them.

    well, i'd buy one.

    winter's coming in a couple of months, and with the price of gas/oil being what it is compared to electricity, you can now heat your house and have a cutting edge machine at the same time.
