Post Intel "Harpertown" Xeon vs. AMD "Barcelona" Opteron
Intel and AMD release new-and-improved quads: AMD ships Barcelona and Intel tweaks the current Xeon. We see how the two stack up against each other in the IT world.

I was hoping for some good adm news, but I guess this isn't it. Not bad but sounds like intel is still the way to go

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

I was reading on the triple core stuff, seems kind of interesting. It stands to have some decent performance, guess we will see soon enough.
