These tests are about a year old, but showed the Opteron was usually 50 to 100 percent faster in most often run workloads (the Xeon came out better in an alter table test - go figure). http://www.tomshardware.com/cpu/20030422/opteron-17.html http://www.aceshardware.com/read.jsp?id=55000261 Here are more recent SAP results: http://www.sap.com/benchmark/ Given that neither Intel nor AMD have been standing still since, a new benchmark would be nice if someone knows of one. Still, given the Opteron's ability to handle larger amounts of RAM, that would be my choice for a database server. - Richard -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
