Nice article, thanks Kris! I'm about to hit the sack (I work nights), |
| 23 |
so I've mostly just skimmed the performance section, and I'm rather |
| 24 |
pleasantly surprised. |

The Opterons are looking a lot better there than some of the other |
| 27 |
reviews I've been reading. The impression I've had was that in terms |
| 28 |
of performance, Intel's had a significant lead since the Conroe came |
| 29 |
out; although AMD's Barcelona is starting to close the gap (although I |
| 30 |
had the impression Intel's Clovertown still leads). |

Thanks, |
