Dear Pete

Just how much performance can Smithfield deliver? The $240 part is likely to be the equivalent of two Prescott Xeon 2.8GHz DPs. Those have less than the performance of 1 Opteron 244 on single threaded apps like Office or games.

Well this is hardly a surprise. The 4-way Opteron 846 has less performance on a single threaded application compared to a single 3.6GHz P4.
