Therefore a 2-way Opteron system enjoys twice the system bandwidth of a 1-way Opteron system; an 8-way Opteron system has an eightfold bandwidth advantage over a 1-way Opteron system. For an Intel Xeon server, system memory bandwidth never increases beyond a 1-way Pentium 4 desktop. " A good news for SMP programmers? pavs
