...can't help but wonder whether AMD did the right thing with its L3 cache. That cache's roughly 20ns access latency erases the Opteron's lifelong advantage in memory access latencies, yet it nets an effective total cache size just over half that of the current Xeon's. Since the L3 cache is clocked at the same speed as the memory controller, raising that memory controller's clock speed should be a priority for AMD. This particular issue may be more ... ...of years, both Intel and AMD have been talking up a storm about how power-efficient performance is the new key to processors, especially in the server space. By that standard, AMD now has the lead. By any measure-and we have several, including idle power, peak power, and a couple of energy use metrics-the quad-core Opterons trump Intel's quad-core Xeons. Even the early 2.5GHz chip we tested proved to have relatively low power draw, which bodes well. ...

AMD Opreton has uncompromised design, unprecedented Performance-per-Watt. Quad-Core AMD Opteron processors with Direct Connect Architecture deliver industry-leading performance within a consistent footprint, and power and thermal envelops. Quad-Core AMD Opteron processors are the most power efficient server CPUs ever produced, thanks to Enhanced AMD PowerNow! technology and the addition of innovative CoolCore Technology. These innovations are designed to reduce total cost of ownership (TCO), data center power needs, and cooling costs by lowering the energy consumption of your IT infrastructure. Quad-Core AMD Opteron processors with Direct Connect Architecture enable industry leading virtualization platform efficiency. Featuring AMD Virtualization (AMD-V) technology with Rapid Virtualization Indexing, Quad-Core AMD Opteron processors can accelerate the performance of virtualized applications and improve efficiency of switching among virtual machines - so customers can host more virtual machines and users per system to maximize the consolidation and power saving benefits of virtualization.
