xbitlabs.com At present, quad-core AMD Opteron processor does not have any advantage over quad-core Intel Xeon processor when it comes to integer computations at the same clock-speed. Nevertheless, the new micro-architecture of AMD’s quad-core chips allows the central processing units (CPUs) to outperform Intel quad-core Xeon central processing units by 26% when it comes to floating point computations. However, performance comparison between the forthcoming chips may become much different. Meanwhile, according to documents seen by X-bit labs, there is no quad-core Intel Xeon 5400-series chip at 3.20GHz planned for release this year. The clock-speeds of the forthcoming Intel Xeon 5400-series processors with 12MB of cache will generally remain on the current level and are expected to be in the range of 3.0GHz. Besides, there will also be two models with 6MB of cache that will operate at 3.33GHz and 3.40GHz. Neither AMD nor Intel commented on future processors for this news-story.
