Athlon 3700 2.2GHz San Diego or Opteron 148 2.2GHz San Diego

Both 2.2GHz
Both 1MB L2 cache
Both San Diego core
Both got Hyper Transport technology
Both same price


But with 1 is better?

i don't think thats fair to say. the Venice and the Sandiego core are identical except for the total ammount of cache. other than that there's no difference

some will "CLAIM" that the venice will Clock higher, but thats really neither been proved or can.

otherwise both cores are great CPU"s and will do you wonders. as for the Opty or the A64... if you plan on overclocking and wnat to see how far you can push tit... go with the opty. but again, there is no promise that it will overclock better than anything else. the CPU's are only guaranteed at their rated speed and pushing anything above that is a crapshoot

That good we are going for a 148 cheers much.

You can't really compare these two unless you determine what is your application,memory and mobo. It is just not accurate and worthwhile to compare two CPUs in absolute.
