Opterons Hit 2.4GHz!!!

Post by Aggressor Prime »

Opterons 150, 250, and 850 were released today. These CPUs are awesome. Now you can have the power of a Athlon 64 FX-53 16-way.

More here.

AMD Opteron *50 series tes Intel #1 Itanium 2 (1.5GHz 6MB Cache 3) by 7%.

See here.

Quad Opteron 850 reaches beyond 32001 MTOPS! See here.

"For single-processor systems, the Opteron 150 looks like the fastest x86 CPU on the planet."

More here.

Well that is what you get when you have a 2.4GHz CPU that performs like a Pentium 4 4.0GHz EE.

Yes, the Pentium 4 3.4GHz EE can OC to 4.0GHz; but the Opteron *50 series can OC to 2.9GHz (4.5GHz). Overall AMD wins.

Also, don't drag this subject off topic. The point of this post is that AMD's best beats Intel's best if both are not OCed, or if you want, if both are OCed to the max.
