Wait, you are saying that the AMD64 FX-53 is faster then the Opti250? HA. That is totally false. The Opteron blows it out of the water, even with buffering. Here is why!
Opteron Bandwidth- 6.4GB/sec
AMD64 FX-53- 6.4GB/sec
Oh, tied. Ready to go down?
Opterons- 8 WAY Processing with Total Floating Point Processing
Athlon64s- 1WAY Processing with Partial Floating Point Processing
OUCH, THAT HURT.
Opterons- SUPERSCALAR!
Athlon64s- NOT!
Once again, the pain is obvious here.
Opterons- Total HyperTrarnsport Output- 19.2GBs!
Athlon64's (Newest Models) Total HyperTrarnsport Output- 8GBs....
Ouch, doubled.... Athlon64's fail here. Now lets compare Pentiums to them. Oh wait, no contest.
