Does anyone else have any decent comparisons of more real-world apps (not just synthetic benchmarks) between differing 64bit archs, especially opteron vs Intel? I currently have an 3.0GHz Xeon (w/ em64t), a 3.6Ghz xeon (w/ em64t) and some dual opterons (244,248, maybe 250 too). Those are for reviewing.
First I want to compare MySQL benchmarks, using both 32 and 64 bits binaries and a mysql compiled from source with gcc 3.4.x. The benchmark will consist of a copy of our database and running a script that does some real-life queries on it with different concurrency levels. Secondly i want to compare webserver performance, apache 2.x w/ dynamic PHP scripts and tux for static files, lets see which platform is the best webserver. Alternativly I want to time some comilations (how fast can they compile a vanilla kernel 10 times etc, useless but a nice comparison ;)).
Would love to see more application comparisons though.
If you have any more idea's of real-world benchmarks, please say so, and i'll try to get them tested too and post the results back to the list. Ultimatly I want to put together a series of (public available) real-world benchmarks which I want to run on quite some platforms to get a nice overview of speed improvements. - kees
