Hi,

For integer workloads Intel's Core2-base Xeons outperforms K8 (the
old-school AMD64) by about 25-30% per clock per core.  K10 seems to be
5-15% faster than K8 for integer workloads (I hope to run my benchmark
suite on one thi week or weekend).

the guys at heise.de published these numbers:

Yes, the table looks like crap but you should be able to get the idea.

The Xeons are faster if one CPU is running and slower when all are running most likelz caused by the memory interface.

The hardware was based on a Broadcom chipset and supported by SuSE but not by other Linux versions.

On the other hand, if you want K8 or K10 in a modern SMP mainboard you
have to live with NVidia for chipsets, and the socket F boards all

It seems that Broadcom is back into this game.
