Not as much as you think as they share the GTL+ bus or maybe it's renamed now. Read up on Anand's Dual Processor Heaven anandtech.com to understand the advantage EV6 has as well as coherent cache anandtech.com.

If you're not shocked, you should be. AMD's first try at the server market is without a doubt an incredible success, and we've only shown you one real world benchmark this far. A pair of Athlon MPs running at 1.2GHz on the 760MP are able to complete this 30 minute benchmark run in a little over 12 minutes; that's close to 20% faster than the Dual Xeon 1.7GHz system which happens to have over 50% more memory bandwidth.

This test clearly shows you that memory bandwidth isn't all that matters in these systems; factors like FSB bandwidth and even raw CPU power can come into play. If you are looking to upgrade your database server, look no further than the 760MP and a pair of Athlon MPs.

Just wait till AMD really gets rolling. They are making good inroads now and will continue to gain share.
