Comments on: High-end Xeon goes quad-core with 'Tigerton'

Intel takes on AMD's last Opteron stronghold with quad-core Xeon 7300 for multiprocessor servers.

I think AMD is better

6 months is no big deal to wait if you want the better processor for your servers, 6 months isn't going to do much. I think AMD will come back with a stronger processor, even if 6 months late, I rather wait longer and get the good stuff, than sooner and get the crappy stuff.

I dont

First of all, if you are in this segment consumer, you will know that for sure that this is not at all a crappy processor. The xeon 7100's matched the AMD Opterons in performance with lesser power dissipation. These new processors are having better capabilities and have a promise of better scaling. Plus if you think 6 months of the 2-3 year server refresh think again. With the pace the applications are developing, be it SAP application s or a web-server. If you are classifying the AMD's unreleased processor superior to the released tigerton, then you need to be less of a genuine user and more of an AMD fan-boy!

One Mio. speaks for itself...

I wouldn´t use the word "crappy" when talking about something that has already sold more than a million pieces worldwide.
Furthermore - let´s be fair and wait for the first benchmarks of both products f2f - when AMD is finally shipping...

Maybe

AMD is better for price and has better performance from its processors but intel's are more reliable in terms of consistancy (I have used both depending on the use of the computer
