I'm about to hit the sack (I work nights), so I've mostly just skimmed the performance section, and I'm rather pleasantly surprised. The Opterons are looking a lot better there than some of the other reviews I've been reading. The impression I've had was that in terms of performance, Intel's had a significant lead since the Conroe came out; although AMD's Barcelona is starting to close the gap (although I had the impression Intel's Clovertown still leads).
