IIRC the single core xeons are the old architecture, and really suck
(speed, heat and cost) compared to the new "core" architecture.

Thanks, Geir,
Yes, I'm comparing two Woodcrest chips (4 cores total) with 2
single-core Xeon chips. I'll check the specs again -- good comments.
Someone recommended this Wiki article, I really liked it.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Xeon
That's pretty cool about the benchmark.

First, are you sure it's a 2GHz Woodcrest? I thought it would be
a 3GHz
part.
Second, is it two Woodcrest (for 4 cores total) or just 1 Woodcrest?
Third, "woodcrest" is an internal code name, and the parts are sold
under the Xeon brand, so which Xeon is a question you want to ask the
vendor - it could be woodcrest based as well.
Finally, the current world record in spec's JBB2005 benchmark is
held by
IBM with their JVM on woodcrest (Xeon 5160) at 114k bops/JVM on a
4 core
machine...
You can go see the results here :
