Re: [Xen-users] Question about the AMD Vs. Intel debate...

I wouldn't consider the Pentium D 940 to even be an option. There are
the new low-wattage AMD X2s coming out soon for AM2.
Beyond that I doubt you're going to get any hard numbers. Word on the
street is that for a particular price point, AMD vs Intel is pretty much
a wash in terms of performance. At the upper-end, I think Intel
currently has the lead, and it's a shame that AMD had to drop their
prices to bring price/dollar back in line. (But I'm not gonna complain,
no siree, I like $150 X2s!)
I've got a few test systems up an running on AMD X2 at the moment (Asus
M2N-E motherboard) with 4GB of ECC DDR2, 4 750GB SATA drives + hotspare
running in RAID10. Some systems are only RAID1 with 2 disks and a hot
spare. And it's performed fairly well (as with all newer chipsets,
Linux support can be a bit tricky).
I just wish the quad-core AM3 chips were out because another 2 cores
would've been a good idea in those systems.
