Hi people,
It's that old war again and I need to choose sides. :)
We are going to be building a bunch of 1U servers. For roughly the same
price I have a choice between:
AMD Athlon XP 3200
or
Intel Pentium 4 3.2GHz Prescott socket 478
Both with 2x512MB dual channel DDR400, SATA, etc.
We've always built dual-CPU machines in the past but it seems the Athlon
MP CPUs are lagging behind the XP's technologically (lower GHz, lower
FSB) and Athlon64/Opteron/Xeon are too expensive, so single-CPU seems to
be the way to go. I don't think we could get duals into a 1U form factor
either due to maximum 250W PSU on the chassis we will be using.
Anyway, I am just wondering if anybody has made any side by side
performance comparisons lately for HLDS on these CPU platforms. What's
your pick?
cheers
-Simon
