I was reading some explanations about dual processor and dual core and I found myselv a little confused about this topic....
I have been a little dificult to understand what is the real difference about them.
I know that Athlon has your memory controller on die and it gives a better performance. But what about the Xeon and P4-D? The only way to increase the perfomance is just through their L2? Look at the simple example below:
Intel Xeon Dual Core: they use just one FSB. Two processor Xeons are conected in only one FSB 800 MHz.
Intel Petium D Dual Core will be share the same FSB 800/1066 Mhz and can use non-buffered and unregistered memory. May I consider it as an advantage under Xeon?
AMD Opteron Dual Processor: they use the HT (Hyper Transport) with high speedy to access the RAM and the chipset. It is an unquestionable fact that can make all the difference.
AMD Athlon 64 Dual Core: they will use the same memory controller. We can have the same performance when they will use the same FSB?
Well, it is confused.... somebody could help me to understand all this complete process?
Thanks
