My guess is that there is not a
simple answer.
My newest machines are extremely
fast at doing:
sum(rnorm(1e6))
relative to my older machines.
But they are not so much faster at
doing the work that I actually
want done.
But if there is a simple answer, I'd
be keen to hear it.

Thanks, Joshua. It's quite helpful. Hope someone can give some idea whether
the Hz or the QPI is relatively important in computing.

Dear Huang,
I do not know how either of these run R in particular. However, the price
difference is because the E5540 is a newer line of chip architecture than
the W3540. One of the differences is the speed that data can be transferred
to and from the chip (Intel now calls it the QPI, it used to
Dear All,
I am considering to buy a workstation. For the CPUs, I wonder whether
anybody have the experience in choosing one for the R.
Intel Xeon W3540 2.93 8MB/1066 QC CPU is much cheaper as compared with the
Intel Xeon E5540 2.53 8MB/1066 QC CPU. However, its Hz 2.93 is bigger than
2.53. I won
