    First "real" Nocona vs. Opteron review?

    I do my simulations based on statistical models of multiple requestors and average sustained throughputs. Mostly because the work I currently do is involved in high rates of network traffic, I focus on the PCI throughputs. With mulitple requestors, peak throughput is reduced to somewhat less...

    First "real" Nocona vs. Opteron review?

    It all depends on what you are doing. A fairly simple simulation shows that the AMD solution has a fairly severe I/O limitation that the Intel solution does not have. So if you want I/O throughput then the processor/memory speed is not your gating item. Intel used to suck horribly on CPU/memory...
