Howdy -
On Wednesday and Thursday I put together a new dual Opteron-250
system and installed SuSE 9.2 (64bit). Uneventful install but there
were a few issues with rebuilding a few apps (all but one have been
resolved - can't get Ogle to build so I'll use Xine instead).
Today I've been putting the Opteron system thru its paces and I have
to say the Opteron/AMD64 has impressed the hell out of me.
The Opteron-250 with its 2.4GHz clock is about *2X* faster than the
2GHz G5/PPC system I have! What took 34 hours to run on the G5 (or the
Athlon-MP/2800 that the Opteron replaced - the Athlon-MP and G5 were
quite similar in speed) is only going to take about 16 hours on the
Opteron-250.
y4mdenoise is getting about 2.7 frames/sec on the Opteron and about
1.3 frames/sec on the G5. How much of that difference can be attributed
to the 64bit operation on the Opteron I do not know (OS/X is still
32bit userland until 10.4 comes out in a couple months).
Pity the Opteron-252 (2.6GHz clock) wasn't quite on the shelves yet
when I placed the order :)
Cheers,
Steven Schultz
