Am I missing something here... is it not completely pointless comparing the numbers when they tested with 4 of the new X7560s and only 2 of everything else [save for the X7460]?
No no no. What REALLY impresses the ladies is the electricity bill.
If you had two dual opteron servers you'd probably get similar performance scores instead of this daft 4 intel vs 2 AMD cpu server comparison. But you wouldn't have to have your own substation in the garden to run your folding farm.
Sun have a X4640 server that takes 8 6-core Opterons. That's 48 cores! I priced one up with 384GB of RAM for a project and it was only $140K. Bargain really!
