They are on par with the xeons and are quick as hell. Here are the current benchmarks for the 1.8 & 3.0 and info.
Well here is the stuff from AMD's site, it's geared toward their product, but it does state some facts as far as bus-speed and such. http://www.amd.com/us-en/Processors/ProductInformation/0,,30_118_8796_8799,0 0.html Now here are the benchmarks. Single Opteron http://www.spec.org/cpu2000/results/res2003q2/cpu2000-20030421-02106.html Dual Opteron http://www.spec.org/cpu2000/results/res2003q2/cpu2000-20030421-02118.html Dell Single Xeon http://www.spec.org/cpu2000/results/res2003q2/cpu2000-20030404-02022.html Dell Dual Xeon http://www.spec.org/cpu2000/results/res2003q2/cpu2000-20030404-02023.html This page, you can search and look at the other results for the Intel's vs. amd as well as other cpu's such as Itanium and such. It has both the 1.8 and 3.06 Xeons, which are right on par with each other, and the opterons beating the xeons out quite a few times. http://www.spec.org/cpu2000/results/res2003q2/#SPECint This site has an abundance of benchmarks, even from systems most of us would never see such as a 128 CPU Itanium system. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Simon Garner Sent: Wednesday, August 18, 2004 1:27 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [hlds] AMD or Intel?

For the same price as the Xeon 3GHz we'd only be able to get 1.8GHz Opterons. I know the clock speeds are not directly comparable but I suspect with Opteron we'd be paying a premium just for 64-bit, and not making much use of it. -Simon _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds
