What sort of an application mix do you run?
We develop and run software for seismic data processing on our Linux clusters (some 64-bit, some 32-bit). In other words, it's mainly number crunching. We saw performance differences of up to 30% on the same hardware. We asked Intel about this unexpected behaviour but they've not been able to come up with an explanation yet, it's still under investigation. I agree with you that Xeon's and Core 2 Duo's characteristics might differ, but nevertheless it's an interesting observation. Unfortunately, I can't give any more details at the moment.
