Opteron 270 vs Xeon 2.8
I was wondering which would preform better i been told they rate different so im not sure. Would a Dual Core Opteron 270 or a Dual Core Xeon 2.8 be more powerful, or are they about the same in performance and power, 1 person told me the 270 be about the same or with more power.

A 270 would be quite a bit better than a XEON 2.8 dual core, now if you start talking some woodcrest cores it is a different matter.

XEON 2.8 is slower than the 270.

How much are 5160 better than 5110, and 5110 than Opteron 270? And how these all compare to Athlon X2 64 5200+?
All dual of course. With the primary task of managing a VLDB, about 30 GB...

If two Xeon Processors both with dual cores, itd obviously beat the Dual Core Opteron 270. If it is just a single xeon with dual core... then the 270 is faster.

They are both dual cores and dual processor

** Addon: The opteron 270 is 2x2ghz 2x1mb cache, the 5200+ is 2x2.6ghz 2x1mb cache so the 5200+ would definitely win, but if you need a dual processor machine the 5200+ doesn't support it (obviously since its a "desktop" processor). But it will put out the same performance as a Opteron 185...

939 are for 1 cpu systems, and 940's are for more than 1 cpu systems.Last edited by Jason K; 11-09-2006 at 01:30 AM.

Then AMD release dual core opteron CPUs, they all run on their same socket, but they are just dual core.
Later AMD release another set of opteron CPU (1xxx, 2xxx and 8xxx). 1xxx are socket AM2 and the others are socket 940 (socket F). This version of socket 940 is not compatible with the old socket 940. That means you cannot put the old version of opteron socket 940 on this type of socket F board.
The difference between socket F and socket 940 is that they use DDR2 rather than DDR and the HT is much better than the previous version.

So if you have 4 of 8xx series CPU and each of them is dual core, you can say it you have 8 CPUs system.Last edited by YUPAPA; 11-09-2006 at 01:46 AM.

Socket 939 (Opteron 1XX, AMD X2 939) is a single processor, socket 940 (Opteron 2XX, 8XX) is for dual or more....
Socket AM2 (Opteron 1XXX, AMD X2 AM2) is single processor, Socket F (Opteron 2XXX..) is for dual or more...
Simple as that...the ones that are cheaper are most likely only for single processor applications.

Statistically the 270 may be better than the Xeon 2.8, however I strongly advise against the use of AMD's as servers.
Contrary to popular belief AMD's do actually run hotter than Intels, thus providing a slight performance degradation if the CPU's going to be busy to start with. Secondly Intel CPU's tend to be a whole load better at multi-tasking and processing tasks more efficiently than AMD's.
Having said that you are unlikely to go wrong using either, but from what I've seen daily in my line of work the Xeons seem to consistently make better servers than Opterons.

Jeff,
You are just making stuff up, an opteron 270 is WAY COOLER running than a Xeon 2.8 dual core! And multitasking ha you are FUD central aren't you?
We are talking about XEONS, not about Woodcrests, you may have a point on heat with woodcrests, but its not a huge temperature difference between opteron and woodcrest either.

Any data about the performance of Dual Xeon 2.8Ghz HT EMT64 as related to the old Dual Xeon 2.8Ghz HT?
