different procesors

whats the difference between opterons and athlons besides one being for servers and one for mainstream.

Actually nothing, they're are just regular Socket 939 processors... They do feature a tremendous overclocking potential...

core wise, absolutely no difference. the X2's with 1MB cache per core and the opterons are exactly the same core, namely Toledo. but, the opterons are made for servers and workstations, so stability is a higher issue. so opterons are usually a higher grade sillicon than the X2's, and thus, OC better/higher.

when a CPU gets tested, and its a real good one, its branded a Opteron.
if it doesnt come through the strict testing process, but its still able to run at high speeds, its a X2.

Opterons OC beter, that is all we really know for sure, and that is enough.

Well there is no difference betweem the 1xx series and the athlon64.

But the 2xx series and the 8xx sereis have more HT links for use with Multi-CPU connection.
