Dan3, Re: < 193mm2 Opteron competes against 230mm2 Xeon, not Prescott, and does it well enough to have taken away Xeon SKUs in IBM, HP, Compaq, and Sun product lines.>

I've seen no reviews where Xeon can come close to competing with Opteron in 64 bit code.

Even in 32 bit code it lags in most cases.

It does not compete with Opteron on performance, only shelf space where it is losing share rapidly.
