Rev F Opteron on July 11. THE TIME OF Rev. F is approaching rapidly. Since Intel used the last two weeks to invite highly-ranked journalists to test WoodCrest processors in a secret bunker in Oregon, AMD hasn't been sleeping lightly. The performance level of WoodCrest may be putting the smiles back on the faces of Intellers, but those smiles tend to disappear when you mention four or eight-socket platforms. WoodCrest has a ticket to ride in the single and dual-socket arena, but anything more than that ends in tears and bottlenecked system bus, which just can't keep up with coherent HyperTransport links in-between the cores. [...] theinquirer.net A bit melodramatic, but essentially correct on the basics. Woodcrest will retake the performance crown in 1 and 2 socket systems, AMD will retain in 4 socket (and the rare 8 socket system).
