Related question: Athlon 64 vs. Opteron

[mike <mike503@gmail.com>]

Anyone have any good data on this (again, in regards to running kernel
2.6.x on Debian-amd64)

The Athlon64 x2 pricing is decent for dual-core... there has to be
some big difference, other than you can't build multiprocessor
Athlon64 systems (I don't believe) - otherwise, they'd be cutting off
the reason to spend all that money on Opteron dual-cores.

Does anyone have any Linux benchmarks or anything else related to this
comparison? Any feedback is appreciated.

Thanks :)
