mas: from your link
The MySQL database is mostly limited by synchronizing the locks, so we suspect that the slightly faster cache coherency syncing on the Opteron 23xx might be one of the reasons AMD's latest performs so well.


That is advertised to change dramatically with Nehalem.

Mas, note that you're comparing a shipping Intel product
against an AMD product that won't ship until next year:

it.anandtech.com

AMD is capable of producing 2.5GHz quad-core, but not in large quantities at this time. The 2.5GHz part should arrive at the end of this year, with large quantities expected in the first quarter of 2008.

It won't look very good against Nehalem . . . .
