The Inquirer har sat AMDs Opteron op imod Intels Xeon, og Opteron skulle angiveligt være en klasse bedre end Xeon.
"Xeon is not even in the same league, and its scaling is poor against Opteron."
"Opteron's ability scale is apparent here and it doesn't need to double its effective cache to prove its performance credentials."
The above benchmarks that AMD has updated are dated as of today and are currently under SPEC submission. Where newer SPEC results have been submitted, I've added those as well.
AMD has also added a new HPC benchmark section as well - at the bottom of this page. The IBM eServer 325 link shows that this server has broken yet another benchmark record by setting the fastest result ever achieved for SPECenvS2002 - 2375. The Stream results show a two-way Opteron platform giving its Itanium2 counterpart a very hard time. What's interesting to note here is that the Itanium platform was configured with three times more processor cache and memory. Læs testen her: http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=12716
