And i see that the actual clock speed of >the opteron is only 1.8 Ghz or something? How is that faster than an a dual AMD >Athlon 2.13 Ghz or Dual Xeon 3.06 Ghz? will be Officially announce and available this monday, the 1.8 Ghz should be as fast as an intel 3 Ghz and 15% faster with 64 bits applications (may be more for chess programs) Let's wait one week and everything will be much clearer...
