I currently have a dual 244 machince and a dual 248 machine at my disposal for testing purposses. The 248 machine is load up with a tyan board 64 bit nic, 64 bit sata raid 10 with four 10k rpm hard drives, 2 gig of ecc ram.The Dual 244 is a little more modest with 1 gig of ram, onboard raid 1 with two 10k sata drives. Feel free to contact me if you want me to test anything out, I also have a pair of single CPU opteron 240's, but they are running as win 2003 64 bit domain controllers.

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.
