CPU/Mobo AMD's dual core Opteron & Athlon 64 X2 - Server/Desktop Performance Preview

its been only a few minutes (or hours) since it was posted and its already here.. good going.. :D
the Gaming performance conparision is all that i care about now.. :D and its good to see the A64s at 2.4gig outperform the X2s.. heheh.. such a relief.. me dont have to upgrade to X2 as yet.. ;)
And the less said about intel, the better.. i mean perf wise :P
EDIT:
Some interesting conclusions:

- Everything from gaming to compiling performance on the Athlon 64 X2 4400+ was extremely solid.

- you no longer have to make a performance decision between great overall performance or great media encoding performance, AMD delivers both with the Athlon 64 X2.

- The real problem is that AMD has nothing cheaper than $530 that is available in dual core, and this is where Intel wins out. With dual core Pentium D CPUs starting at $241, Intel will be able to bring extremely solid multitasking performance to much lower price points than AMD will.

^^ see the tables turning? ;)
 
well amd 3500+ is $272 at new egg .. so dual core with the same 2.2ghz and 512kb cache for 530++ isnt so bad right ? slightly less then 2 of the same single processor
 
well.. what i meant was once upon a time Intel wud sell on basis of its advanced technology alone (at high prices), with AMD resorting to low price tactics..

Times do change ;)
 
hehe true.. i just responded to this

The real problem is that AMD has nothing cheaper than $530 that is available in dual core
