OK, I feel like trying this one (call me stupid if you will).
Thanks for your info, this is very helpful. So until end 2007 the core2 annihilates any opteron system.
No!!!!!!!!! This may be true for your application, but it's not true for all applications. I have a couple of applications where a 2.6 GHz Opteron with beat a 3.0 GHz Woodcrest. Another example is Fluent, where a 3.0 GHz Woodcrest kills the Opteron on a single node or a small number of nodes. But as you increase the number of nodes, the Opteron is faster than the Woodcrest. So which one is faster - Woodcrest or Opteron - really depends on your code.
