<font color=blue>Opteron pricing? ntsi.com And BMG found some nice benchmarks. Author: BlackMagicGuy Number: of 100225 Subject: Re: Wanna buy an opteron?

Most interesting, I'd be curious how they reply to anyone here... BTW, if you look into their site, & look at their performance testing, you get the following table: Processor Graphics RAM Total Time Pentium 4 2.0 GHz FireGL2 512 MB 795 Pentium 4 2.0 GHz Wildcat II 5110 512 MB 826 Pentium 4 2.0 GHz Geforce2 MX400 64 MB 1024 MB 839 Pentium 4 1.7 GHz FireGL2 1024 MB 890 AMD 1900+ XP FireGL2 1024 MB 699 AMD 1700+ XP FireGL2 1024 MB 743 Hmmm... So a AXP 1900 blows away the 2g P4. The minor difference between this chart & the quoted benchmarks earlier is that these are... well, real world results! If the P4 scales from 2g forward as it did from 1.7 to 2g, then a 2.3 GHz P4 will just tie the AXP 1900. And the new P4 2.53g part may be able to keep up with the AXP2100. ;D I'd hate to see how the Opteron will compare to these... :oD Black Magic --------------- Source TMF board M.
