For what it's worth, the Opteron 175 (2 x 2.2 GHz cores) is identical
silicon to the AMD64 x2 4400+. The qualification/testing process is
apparently NOT the same for the two types of chip, and the register that
returns 'chip ID' is programmed differently. Other than that, I have been
told by AMD engineers that they are identical.

Now I want to know which is better (performance & price)?
* 64 x Opteron Single Core
* 32 x Opteron Dual Core
How does the performance of Dual Core Opterons compare to that of Dual Core
Athlon64 processors?
It is /much/ cheaper (30- 50% -- at least down here in the antipodes) to
build a system with the later, especially when you take into account the
price of the motherboards.
