Re: They expect corporations to trust their data to the following? Excuse me, but plugging in a USB flash drive doesn't sound like the ultimate stability test, does it? Are these the same corporations that just had their Opterons recalled, or different corporations? They did many workstation-style benchmarks, but no server benchmarks. They only did two benchmarks in both 64-bit and 32-bit mode. On one, the Opteron system gained 10% vs. 1% on Woodcrest. On the other, Opteron gained 1% vs. 4% on Woodcrest. Yep, it needed more 64-bit benchmarks and more server benchmarks. I wonder what Anandtech's Woodcrest server review will look like. AMD dominated the 4S benchmarks in the last article. ...but add the advantage of DDR2-800 and Opteron would pull ahead. Real server benchmarks with a lot of I/O would stress the FSB and result in a further Opteron advantage. DDR2-800 for servers will have very high latencies this year...probably 5-5-5 or 6-6-6. I doubt there will be much of a performance gain over DDR-400.
