Yep. Given that I spec all Corporate servers for our company, Intel continues to be the way to go. Now that certain NDA's are up, the big selling point for Barcelona, at least when I was briefed by AMD, was the power savings -- though they have a few more tricks coming.. Not much of a concern for us at this juncture. Also, with Intel releasing their Xeon 7300 series the 4 socket arena just got fun.

I will be interested to see the AMD triple core and how it performs... but the production method for these and the upcoming dual core barcelona's scare me.

For Vendor specific stats, check: Transaction Processing Performance Council
