Actually, for Workstations AMD is a very serious competitor to Intel. Intel has basically killed their dual-socket 2011 Workstation motherboards, meaning a single socket 2011 is the best you can do and 8-Core Xeons start at $1,150, and are only clocked at 2.0GHz which is really low for a SB-e. And for basically the same price you can build a 32-core dual-processor monster with AMD processors.

IDK for workstations but I run a company that has over a dozen servers. All of them run Intel Xeon E3 and E5 CPUs... AMD is just too power hungry and slow and not worth the small savings up front.

Yeah, I know what you're talking about. It is a mystery why the people building the fastest super computers pick AMD Opterons over Intel... :rolleyes:

You're comparing apples to oranges. Just because something is good en masse for insanely complex calculations like a supercomputer would do, doesn't mean it's the best on a significantly smaller scale for workstation purposes (graphics design, video and audio production, CAD work, etc).

Funny how you ignored my post.

Same old shit. Still can't see a reason to upgrade from Sandy Bridge.

the titan might use opterons but I'm pretty sure that there are more xeon based supercomputers than operaton based. :wtf:

Didn't ignore it, just didn't have anything to say

Why is it that an old Intel i7 860 quad core 2.8GHz is equivalent in benchmarks to the latest AMD FX-8350 which runs at 4GHz and uses much more power??

I find that hard to believe. I have a i7 940 rig here and ive put it up against my 8350 and my old 1055T and used them in real life situations like transcoding or file conversion etc with different programs and I can tell you this now the i7 940 is about 10% faster then my 1055T and my FX 8350 smashes both of them out of the water at around 30-40% faster at least.

If you can find programs that can use 4/6/8 threads well then you will see what I mean

Not really, Workstation loads are typically very multi-threaded. So the more cores the better, which is why Opterons are great choices. Like I said, you get 32-Cores for the price of 8 Intel cores. Even if you assume the AMD cores perform at half the performance of the Intel, and they they aren't anywhere near that low, the AMD machine still comes out ahead.

Probably, but Titan is the leader and it was built with power consumption in mind, and they still decided on Opterons. There are a lot of Operton SuperComputers, if they are so terrible no one would be using them, but yet they are. My point is there are reasons why they pick Opterons. Cost, performance, and power consumption all play a part. You can get more raw computing power for the money with AMD, and the power consumption is not really any higher.

so the i7-4771 isn't a 4770 with crystalwell? too bad, 128 MiB of L4 cash could have been sweet.
