Initial benchmarks (2.6 GHz clock) put it at about 17% faster than Opteron 275 and Woodcrest 5150 (2.66 GHz) on a GAMESS test we use (1h41m for Woodcrest and 275, and 1h26m for this unit).
I'd be very interested to see any application benchmarks you've run. In my testing <http://www.duke.edu/~jlb17/optxeon.pdf>, Xeon 5140s blow the doors off Opteron 270s -- moreso than the clockspeed difference would indicate -- in almost all my benchmarks. I was leaning the Xeon way for any new purchases, but I haven't had a chance to test the new Opterons yet.
