    Server is getting pounded, or should I say Hammered.

    damn... they better increase their clockspeed the performance is quiet bad!

    edit: But then, we will see the CPU's true performance under 64bit OS!

      Don't forget they were testing an early engineering sample, which is not always a good indicator of the release product.

        yea that's ture. Who knows, maybe AMD wants to hide their true power until launch so that they can freak Intel out. hehe j/k

        AMD chipset + Athlon 64... yummy!

          I'm not putting too much stock in these early numbers, but the SSEII performance does concern me a bit. These instructions are starting to be quite commonplace in video editing software and clockspeed seems to rule here.

          The P4's enormous overall clockspeed advantage, compounded by the double pumped SSEII unit provide the P4 with a huge advantage in this benchmark. In addition, the lack of a HT counterpart may be another liability.

          On the positive side, for business apps there is no comparision, Athlon 64 rules. Also, the memory latency is quite impressive. I think we're going to see some very good server performance from Opteron later this week.

            I want to see a dual opteron workstation benchmarks... The way AMD has them working together seems like they should scale very well as you add cpu's. AMD may have a system that will actually run games faster when you enable SMP

              Only 2?

              Let's go for 8 CPUs!
