Check it out, Ace’s Hardware has a great new review of AMD and Intel’s big boy server chips.
[color=#666666″>"In our last article about x86 server CPUs, the Opteron 244 made a quite an impression when compared to the Xeon DP. In many of our real-world server benchmarks, the 1.8 GHz Opteron bested the 2.8 GHz Xeon DP. Of course, neither Intel nor AMD have been sitting still since that time, and to make the Xeon DP more competitive, Intel equipped its midrange server CPU with a 1 MB L3-cache. Correspondingly, 2.2 GHz Opteron 248 and 848 processors are available this month. This article serves as an update on how these server platforms compare, but it’s also much more. We’ve benchmarked AMD’s Quartet, a four-headed Opteron hydra with up to 8.8 GHz (4 x 2.2 GHz) of processing power. Unfortunately, the quad Xeon MP was not yet able to join the party, but rest assured that this is not our last server CPU article."[/color”>
