From my experience Xeons sustain a much more stable FPS than the
core 2 duo

Hi, i'm about to order new machines for my game server hosting, but i
can't decide between xeon and opteron
i've tried a new dual quad-core xeon machine which could run 20
servers / 220 players with no big problems, but i also recently read
that dual-core opterons give better performance per server than xeon
id like to know if anyone here have hlds-benchmarked the two
(dualcore xeon vs dualcore opteron in this case) and come up with any
special results?

You might try the Core 2 Duos. I've heard very good things about them.
Opterons... AMDs were never better than Intel for pure processing
applications. C2Duos are very fast (I've seen a few servers running
300
players with 2 C2Ds) but it's pretty pricey comparative to Xeons which
are now dropping in price and offer similar performance.
Benchmarks I don't know about. It'd be interesting if there are
any, though.
