mach 2 tests

They probably just used a recent chart that was in there files and added the P4 4.0 to it. A couple of weeks ago they said they had a SETI chart in their review but it was no where to be found. They did have a article that compared some dual CPU's (opteron and some xenons and athlon MP's, I think) i believe that the test compared 2x2.8 xenons Vs. 2x1.8 opterons and the xenons beat them, guessing because of the clock speed difference and the architexture(cant spell right now) the 64 bit capability.

But whatever floats their boat.

I am guessing because it was a chart topped. The Opteron blows in Workstation benchmarks, and to put it there all along has no meaning, since:
1) It's a server CPU
2) It is not meant to do these tasks nor is it that good at them

It was probably added in there since SETI is quite an intensive benchmark and perhaps the high performance of it deserved to be mentioned. (Contending a 4GHZ P4 and beating it is still a feat)

I know its xeon, I was just at www.teamxenon.com looking at some bodykits, so i just had a slip of the fingers, brain, eyes(basically everything related to concentration.
