A bit closer to Woodcrest, but no cigar
It's good to see AMD innovate by following Intel in providing virtualization, DDR2 support and LGA packaging. Another AMD invention(s) somewhere in there for sure.

What is puzzling is an increase in the TDP from 55W to 68W? What's that about? Anyway, what's 13 more watts amongst friends?

I'd like to see some performance numbers. Do you think these can outperform an 1Ghz Woodcrest maybe with the cache turned off? Maybe so.

a better solution for what?  doh123 | 08/15/06
mother  IceTheNet@... | 08/15/06
Why? It's slower than Intel's CPU.  No_Ax_to_Grind | 08/15/06
For gaming, yes  Yagotta B. Kidding | 08/15/06
Where are the benchmarks comparing the NEW opteron to woodcrest?  michael_t | 08/15/06

It started getting really interesting. No on to Benchmarks  michael_t | 08/15/06
then what is a benchmark....  JoeMama_z | 08/15/06
