Anyway, the Woodcrest numbers are nothing short of amazing! The Quad Woodcrest running at 2.0GHz is outperforming a QUAD Opteron 285 system running at 2.6GHz by over 25%!!!

That's pretty amazing!!! But you know what? None of us with even the slowest Quad Opteron 265 rigs have yet to even max out the system on some big mixes. There is tons of CPU headroom to spare on even the smallest Quad Opteron rig with a big mix. I'm already building my second Quad and can put in any Opteron CPU I want, and it will be the 265 again.
I think all of this is great news. It will slam down the prices of the AMD Quads. And with the amazing power of the Woodcrest, it again demonstrates that it can all be done native these days.
Wait till we see the 8 core and 16 core rigs on both AMD and Intel roll out soon. Amazing CPU power we have now.
Thanks for this great news. This amazing CPU power we now have rocks!
