AMD adds server horsepower with 16-core chip

Woot 16cores, extra 100mhz!!!11!!

*Shame they still get chewed up by 6 core 12 thread intel chip in most situations

I don't think a 3.8% faster clock speed is going to help them.

But hey, thanks new reg with 14 posts, 3 of which have been "AMD owns all!" We thank you for your unbiased and insightful posts.

Take it down a notch. This is not how we treat new members

that graph is hilarious!

Isn't it! I wonder if it's already in IDC's collection?

Not sure what's so special about a minor clock bump. If Trinity is an indication, BD's future has hope, but it will be awhile before we see anything come of it.
 
Feels like the marketing guys have given-up on BD too. I am sure PD cannot come soon enough for those guys.
 
What does the performance for a similarly priced Xeon look like? Does the Opteron even keep up? I though the Opterons always had a specific application advantage in one of Anand's server benchmarks, but i can't remember what it would have been at this point.

Read the article in my first post above, it is quite informative.

I don't know why we are all bashing AMD though, they clearly decimtate intel with this new 43.2ghz CPU!!!111!!

Hey, why don't you just back off. 16 cores is awesome for servers.

Compared to Xeons, Opterons are a joke.

Where they have their niche, they are at best something to consider. Clearly outmatched in many use cases, however. It's like comparing LGA 2011 CPUs to AM3+. Once you have the money, one isn't even worth considering. And even then, you were only considering an AM3+ CPU in the minority of use cases.

When PD comes out, though, I'll be giving a dual PD build serious consideration. When it comes to dual LGA2011 you have to spend more than I am comfortable with to get the "blow out" performance. Until IVB based LGA2011 CPUs show up in (what, Q2 2013?) PD may be interesting in the below ~$2k server space.

Except the price delta between comparable servers is typically around 5%, and the Intel one typically performs 20-40% better.
