That sounds wonderful, in theory, but AMD has yet to demonstrate that it can ship 2GHz Barcelona's in volume, much less 2.5GHz. According to Anandtech, the 2.5Ghz Opteron 2360SE should arrive by the end of the year, with volume shipping in the first quarter of 2008. Check the article if you want play-by-play results, but it's good to see that AMD's K10 may still have a future.Īgain, however, there's the question of when AMD will be able to ship 2.5GHz Barcelona parts in volume. In server-level applications, however, the Barcelona 2360SE is far more competitive. Given what we've seen thus far from Phenom and Barcelona at 2GHz, that's to be expected-Phenom has yet to demonstrate clock-for-clock performance parity with Conroe, much less Penryn. In general applications and 3D rendering, the Xeon typically dominates. Over at Anandtech, Johan De Gelas has put both the Opteron 2360SE (2.5GHz) and the Xeon 5472 (3GHz) through their paces, and come back with some interesting results. Xeon performance-particularly when the Xeon chips in question are based on Intel's latest 45nm technology. With the despondent thud of Phenom's launch a week ago still ringing in the air, it might seem an odd time to be comparing Barcelona vs.
