Xeon vs. Opteron Performance Benchmarks 362
QuickSand writes "Anand got his hands on some of Intel and AMD's enterprise processors including 4MB L3 Xeons, and put them to the test. Results were a little varied as 4-way Opteron systems seemed to fare the best, although dual Xeon configurations almost always beat dual Opterons. The exact benchmarks are here."

well, I prefere 2 machines with 1 Opteron each than 1 machine with 2 Xeons

This makes me want to throw up. The last motherboard purchase I made, it was a chore finding one with the _least_ amount of features. Need an AMR riser slot? Fuck no, I'd rather have the PCI slot back.
You do realize it costs much less to put a AMR or CNR slot on a motherboard then a PCI slot right?
Need integrated sound? No, integrated sound makes my already bad speakers sound worse. It must've been tough figuring out how to make a decade's worth of improvements in technology amount to nothing. I have an ISA soundblaster from 10 years ago that sounds better than the onboard sound on my last motherboard.
Now its obvious you're trolling. Say what you want about AC97-based onboard sound (which nearly everythign is), but its good enough. Your speakers are much more likely the problem. The long and short is that all PC sounds cards equally suck until you get to professional grade gear.
Need integrated video? I won't begrudge you this. Some people build clusters with their motherboards, and a video card is needed to boot, but if I have a choice I won't buy a mobo with integrated video.
What does having this cost you? Its not like you have to use it, or that boards with onboard video cost signifcantly more.

because their processor cores are running at almost 50 per cent faster
Because everyone knows more of them megahurtzy things is good,right?
