excellent compared to what...a 2.53ghz p4 and a 650mhz pIII...well i guess it is setteled then the opteron has better performance than my pIII...damn...they should have thrown in a 486 to make the tests more interesting. Although assuming the scaleing is linear for the (for the p4) the opteron does pretty well.

I believe we went over this earlier. He was refering to the test of certain linux processing times. And as the other thread pointed out, in that benchmark that the Opteron won so favorably in, the 1.7 P4 Willamette also scored better than the 2.53 P4 Northwood.

I finally got around and read everything that was linked to. However, I seriously doubt any tester who actually puts a 1.7Ghz Willie on a chart with a higher score than a 2.53Mhz Woody and doesn't do some explainin'. I've scratched my head a number of times because of that...

Anyway, as to the other benchmarks, they look good. Nothing too devastating, however, because it was only compared against a 2.53Mhz P4. However, how does it compare to a HT-enabled "C"-labeled P4 on Canterwood? I wonder... But, of course, things still look great, because they were comparing a 1.4Ghz Opteron and a 2.53Ghz P4.

I have allready point that out few day ago before it goes on The inquirer.

I dont like french test

 

[Mephistopheles]

yes, well, very strange tests. (scratches head again)

First of all, the results are totally bogus from what I can tell and second, the 2.53 GHz P4 was released in May 2002. So if someone pitted Intel's latest release against an AMD chip released over 1 year ago, would YOU praise Intel for excellent performance?
