Intel Dual Core Xeon Benchmarked

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the lackluster-performance dept.

An anonymous reader writes "A few weeks back, Intel launched a new dual core chip with little applause. It appears we know now why, as the chip has been benchmarked by the chaps at GamePC. In tests against the dual core AMD Opteron processor, Intel's new chip gets thoroughly thrashed, losing out in terms of raw performance while eating a lot more power. "

    Intel's sales will again beat AMD's by several fold. The reason seems to be that most PC and server purchases are not intended for games, beyond Solitare of course, and people prefer the reliability, power savings and lower temperatures of the Intel chips.

    AMD should be happy they ran Cyrix out of the business but, they should have realized by now that they will not impact Intel sales no matter how vocal their fanboys might be.

    BTW, could I borrow your Opteron, I need to fry an egg for breakfast.

    Right after folks RTFFAQ and realize there are reasons that they don't auto-corralize.
