Subject: Question about comparison pentium4 Xeon2 and opteron

Author: Uri Blass

I talk with a person and he tells me that Xeon2 is new technology and it is
better than opteron but it simply does not fit the price that I agree to pay for
it.

He tells me that there are graphs that tell that Xeon2 is better.
When I tell him that people in this forum told me that pentium4 is relatively
bad he tells me that he does not trust them(note that he does not deal with
chess programs).

He also claims that the Athlon64 is the same quality as the pentium4 that I can
get.
He agrees that the opteron is better than normal pentium4 that I can get.

I am interested to know if there is some graph that shows that the opteron and
even the athlon64 is better than the xeon2.

Note that I probably decided to go for the opteron and not for the athlon
because people tell me that I cannot get responsibility for the athlon64 and are
against it.

Hopefully I can also get opteron248 in the next 2 weeks for the tournament with
responsibility not directly from IBM with a cheaper price.
