It's my understanding that in the 4 socket and above market the Opteron is
king of the hill, 2 and 1 socket performance is perhaps about the same.
This was before quad-cores came to market however.
The big cache on Xeons is to ease the bandwidth constraints of the FSB.
Opterons don't have a shared FSB like Xeons, so don't need the big cache.
I'd take Opterons for server duties over Xeons without blinking, especially
virtualization.
