follow up was i think with opteron ? no wonder i could not find the article in their history.

anyway http://www.computeractive.co.uk/news/1156849

i ll try finding more. I am adding to my words above, depending on the app em64t is faster/slower than amd platform. we still have to wait for software OPTIMIZED for the new platform.
