Quoting Robert Donovan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Thanks, I dug into the Intel site a bit deeper and found similar
information. Oh well, at least the laptop manufacturer says that the CPU can
be upgraded to core 2 duo mobile (as soon as I can get one) with a BIOS
upgrade. 32 bits it is, for now.
Gotta love marketing derived names that don't give you any
information, and names the cross technologies.
At least you know Opteron and Athlon 64 all are x86_64.
FYI, some tests I've run with woodcrest chips thus far at work do NOT
always show a win for intel like they claim. In fact, if I recompile
openssl, the recompiled version wins on opterons (2.8GHz vs 3GHz
woodcrest).
Some tools our engineers use are a bit faster on woodcrest, some a lot
faster (mabye as much as 25%), some the same or slower. So the claims
that Intel is just spanking amd... are mostly crap.
