Hello all.
Sorry if this has been addressed already -- I searched the mailing list
archives and didn't find any answers.
Has there been a recent (i.e., conducted this year with shipping silicon)
performance study/benchmark of the "Harpertwon" family of Intel Xeon processors
running with an external clock of 1600 MHz against a suitable high-end member
of the AMD "Barcelona" family, e.g., 2354 or 2356?
I've found various comparisons done in 2007 with pre-release AMD silicon, and
conducted by "consumer grade" web sites like Tom's Hardware and Anandtech. I'm
looking for something more rigorous, and done with a mind toward
parallel/cluster applications, preferably on some form of Linux.
I loathe that I'd have to use an nvidia chipset with the AMD processors, but I
wouldn't want the dead-end memory architecture of the current Intel chips to
become an issue.
Thanks!
