Now calculate the price per SPECFP for each of those processors. >Opteron has *stellar* FP price / performance. That's probably true for the single CPU, but if you add system cost (i.e. motherboard/memory/peripherals) situation changes. Opteron can still win, but I am not sure. But if we started talking about "price/performance" why not look at the ordinary Xeon or Pentium4? They have performance comparable to Opteron (within ~10%), and very competive price...
