Opteron vs. Xeon: Today's Leading Workstation Processors Head-to-Head
Well, my question is: What is more powerful and effective, Intel's Xeon or AMD's Opteron?
I noticed in configuring the Alienware MJ-12 desktop systems, that the Intel Xeon powered MJ-12 7550i held less memory capacity, at 4 GB, then the AMD Opteron powered MJ-12 7550a, at an incredible 16 GB. This is no doubt due to AMD's 64-bit technology, and the new AMD-exclusive Windows Professional x64 edition.
While the AMD can hold more memory, let's have a showdown between a x2 Intel Xeon 3.8ghz with 4 GB of memory and an x2 AMD Opteron 2.4ghz Dual Core with 4 GB of memory.
