"In our last article about x86 server CPUs, the Opteron 244 made a quite
an impression when compared to the Xeon DP. In many of our real-world
server benchmarks, the 1.8 GHz Opteron bested the 2.8 GHz Xeon DP. Of
course, neither Intel nor AMD have been sitting still since that time,
and to make the Xeon DP more competitive, Intel equipped its midrange
server CPU with a 1 MB L3-cache. Correspondingly, 2.2 GHz Opteron 248 and
848 processors are available this month. This article serves as an update
on how these server platforms compare, but it's also much more. We've
benchmarked AMD's Quartet, a four-headed Opteron hydra with up to 8.8 GHz
(4 x 2.2 GHz) of processing power. Unfortunately, the quad Xeon MP was
not yet able to join the party, but rest assured that this is not our
last server CPU article."
