SoftLayer's Intel Xeon 5050 3GHz Dempsey vs. ThePlanet's Dual Xeon 2.8GHz
I have my box with TP: Dual Xeon 2.8GHz and thinking to get one with SoftLayer. Just I don't know how fast those new dual core Dempsey CPU's are in compare to those used by TP. Should I buy "dual processor single core" or is it Ok to get "single processor dual core" ?

Its a decent amount faster, and you would have the option to double the speed (2 dual core cpus) down the road. I would go with the 1x 5050 vs 2x 2.8ghz single core cpus.

Woodcrest is expensive because they have it "Intel Dual Core Dual Xeon Woodcrest 5130". I don't need 4 CPUs

Dempsey is an old xeon core, same as the regular Xeon x.xghz, the 51xx series Xeons are the new woodcrest cores

I meant I cannot get single Woodcrest with Softlayer , I can get only 2 x Woodcrest , so it's expensive. It's over $300 with SCSI

Woodcrest is actually the new Xeon core, they've been out for a very little period of time and are very expensive. Softlayer probably doesn't have the hardware in stock yet to replace its Dempsey's with Woodcrest's, however I expect them to do so soon as Woodcrest is a superior core to Dempsey.
