Hello, Sorry, I don't have the same applications as you. Did you compile them with gcc? If gcc, then -o3 can do some optimization. -march=k8 is enough I think. And you make sure the CPU running at the default frequency. Sometime Powernow is active as default. And BTW, what's your platform? Linux?

Hello, I am afraid there must be something wrong with your experiment. How did you get the performance? Was your DFT codes running in parallel? Any optimization involved? In most of my test, K8L or K10 can beat old opteron at the same frequency with about 20% improvement. Regards, Li, Bo - Or

I'm runnung a set of quad-core Opteron 2350 benchmarks, in particular using Gaussian-03 (binary version from Gaussian, Inc, i.e. translated by more old - than current - pgf77 version, for Opteron target). I compare in particular *one core* of Opteron 2350 w/Opteron 246 having the same 2 Ghz fr
