Quote: :) Why Get AMD Opteron (64-Bit) Processor?s which are faster & $ cheaper $ in dollars.
AMD?s Integrated Memory Controller runs at the CPU Core Frequency. - As the CPU frequency increases, Opteron?s memory controller becomes more efficient. - Each CPU has dedicated bandwidth. - Bandwidth increases with more CPU?s. - Get yourself some nice Memory & you have a solid efficient system. - Motherboards for S 940 & 939 are 100% compatible with Dual Core Athlon 64's & Opterons.
--------------------------------- Why you should ?NOT? consider Itanium, Pentium 4/Prescott & Xeon for Servers unless you have money to blow. - Memory performance scales with the FSB frequency. - Additional CPU?s share bandwidth & make problems worse. - To compensate with this performance loss you need to stock up on a lot of Ram. - You need new Motherboards to support new Dual Core CPU's.
i think that Intel will shock us all yet. Kuz if they dont there going to be hurting .
Intel has been trying for 18 months to try & match the Opteron Speed & efficiency. I think the Opteron will finnaly dominate the Workstation/Server matkets.
I hear that Microsoft will be using 8-Way 2.40Ghz Opterons for all there offices in Euorup & N America. That is like 50 Billion Dollars worth. :) Good for AMD.
Quote: AMD SAID Microsoft will use X86 based 64-bit Opteron servers for its Technology Centres worldwide. \"When Microsoft invests sixty billion dollars............. :)
