SPECint_rate2000 4P Servers
Opteron 846 - 56.7 (116.91%)
Opteron 844 - 48.5 (100.00%)
Xeon MP 2.8 GHz (2 MB L3) - 47.6 (98.14%)
Xeon MP 2.0 GHz (2 MB L3) - 34.7 (71.55%)
Opteron is showing a 19% performance lead in the first benchmark discipline, and it's doing so without using PC3200 memory.
SPECfp_rate2000 4P Servers
Opteron 846 - 52.5 (106.71%)
Opteron 844 - 49.2 (100.00%)
Xeon MP 2.8 GHz (2 MB L3) - 25.4 (51.63%)
Xeon MP 2.0 GHz (2 MB L3) - 20.2 (41.06%)
Xeon is again found wanting, as Opteron punches out a mammoth 107% lead. Opteron is still using slower PC2700 memory.
SPECweb99_ssl 4P Servers
Opteron 848 - 3800 (111.80%)
Opteron 846 - 3399 (100.00%)
Xeon MP 2.8 GHz (2 MB L3) - 2177 (64.05%)
Opteron is hitting a 75% lead in this category, which happens to be another double digit embarrassment for Xeon. In this configuration, Opteron could make do with PC2100 memory.
SPECweb99 (Red Hat CA2) 4P Servers
Opteron 846 - 10502 (103.62%)
Opteron 844 - 10135 (100.00%)
Xeon MP 2.0 GHz (2 MB L3) - 6700 (66.12%)
Xeon MP 1.6 GHz (1 MB L3) - 5750 (56.73%)
Opteron's home run number this time around is a 57% lead. Again with this setup, Opteron could get by with PC2100 memory.
SPECjbb2000 Performance 4P Servers
Opteron 848 - 113473 (105.28%)
Opteron 846 - 107786 (100.00%)
Xeon MP 2.8 GHz (2 MB L3) - 94405 (87.59%)
Opteron's lead is held back to a still very respectable 20%.
MMB2 (Windows) 4P Servers
Xeon MP 2.8 GHz (2 MB L3) - 16528 (106.49%)
Opteron 844 - 15520 (100.00%)
Xeon MP 2.0 GHz (2 MB L3) - 13200 (85.05%)
If Opteron's performance lead was transposed into the car world, how do you think the Opteron brand would be received? Imagine two independent car dealerships that compete against each other. They face each other across the high street, so customers play them off to garner the best possible deal. Both companies have been successfully selling the Xeon brand, but one of them decides it's time to give their customers the option to buy an Opteron.
When customers are told that for the same price Opteron betters Xeon in the crucial areas that matter - 19% lower emissions, 20% faster top speed, 57% better fuel economy, 75% quicker 0-60, 107% shorter braking distance, and then find out that it can also pull twice the load of Xeon, which car do you think is going to prove to be the better seller?
